CA AB2625

Requires courts to return mentally incompetent defendants to court within 10 days (instead of without specific timeline) after medical director reports indicate no substantial likelihood of regaining mental competence in the foreseeable future.

Mandates medical directors of treatment facilities to promptly notify defense counsel and district attorney, and notify the county sheriff that transportation will be needed when defendant is unlikely to regain competence.

Requires defendants who have not recovered mental competence to be returned to court no later than 90 days prior to expiration of their commitment term (rather than at the end of 3 years or maximum sentence, whichever is shorter).

Incorporates conditional amendments to Penal Code Section 1370 that become operative only if companion bills AB 2186 and/or SB 1412 are also enacted, with operative language depending on which bills pass and their enactment order.

Establishes state mandate reimbursement procedures for local agencies and school districts incurring costs from the bill's requirements.
