CA SB1317

Extends until January 1, 2030 protections for county jail inmates requiring informed consent before receiving psychiatric medication, previously set to expire January 1, 2025.

Requires counties administering involuntary medication to inmates awaiting arraignment, trial, or sentencing between January 1, 2025 and July 1, 2028 to submit detailed reports to the Legislature by January 1, 2029, including number of inmates medicated, crimes charged, detention duration, and medication duration.

Mandates any involuntary psychiatric treatment be consistent with the standard of care and allows counties to demonstrate documented attempts to locate community-based treatment beds through declarations under penalty of perjury.

For inmates awaiting trial, requires hearings and ex parte order requests to be submitted to the judge in the court where the criminal case is pending, with orders valid for no more than 180 days and subject to review every 60 days.

Establishes state mandated local program with reimbursement to be determined by the Commission on State Mandates for any costs beyond those related to changes in criminal penalties.
