FL S0202

Adds new involuntary admission criterion for persons resuscitated with a pharmacologic agent designed to reverse opioid or other substance overdose effects within 24 hours before assessment or law enforcement contact.

Requires law enforcement officers to transport persons meeting the new overdose-reversal criterion to a hospital or licensed detoxification facility, with ability to detain in jail for up to 72 hours pending transport unless a petition for involuntary assessment is filed.

Revises professional's certificates, alternative involuntary assessment applications, and involuntary services petitions to allow attestation that a person meets the new overdose-reversal criterion as an alternative to traditional substance abuse impairment criteria.

Changes evidentiary standard in involuntary services hearings from "proving" to "showing" by clear and convincing evidence and adds the new overdose-reversal criterion as an alternative basis for involuntary admission.

Requires court to release respondents from involuntary substance abuse treatment when the court determines the respondent has regained self-control with respect to substance abuse and is not likely to inflict physical harm on themselves or others.
