HI SB2352

Requires the administrator or attending physician of a psychiatric facility to provide notice of intent to discharge an involuntary patient or notice of admission to voluntary treatment.

Limits application of discharge notice requirements to civil commitments that directly result from legal proceedings under chapters 704 and 706.

Requires discharge notices to be served by mail at the person's last known address and sent to the prosecuting attorney of the county from which the person was originally committed for victim notification purposes.

Changes the objection period for discharge from three days to five calendar days, and requires family courts to conduct hearings "as soon as possible" before the current commitment order expires.

Allows persons entitled to receive notice to waive this right in writing, and requires objectors to notify the psychiatric facility by telephone on the date of filing.
