HI SB2914

Amends criteria for involuntary medical treatment in correctional facilities to require court findings that the inmate poses danger to self or others, treatment is medically appropriate, and less intrusive alternatives have been considered.

Defines "danger of physical harm to self" and "danger of physical harm to others" with specific behavioral and medical indicators for clarity in court proceedings.

Changes notification requirements from notifying multiple family members to notifying only the legal guardian or emergency contact listed in the department's custody records.

Extends the examination window from two days to five days prior to petition submission and allows declarations in addition to affidavits from medical professionals.

Allows involuntary treatment orders to extend beyond release if the person returns to custody during the order period, and permits court-ordered extensions of existing orders for up to one year upon showing continued need for treatment.
