ID H0614

Creates a rebuttable presumption that a defendant is "gravely disabled" for involuntary mental health commitment purposes when a court finds the defendant unfit to stand trial with no substantial probability of becoming fit within the foreseeable future, or after an additional 180 days under Section 18-212, Idaho Code.

Expands the definition of "gravely disabled" to include inability to exercise sufficient behavioral control to avoid serious criminal justice involvement, such as repeated law enforcement contact.

Creates a parallel rebuttable presumption for developmentally disabled persons, presuming they are unable to meet essential requirements for physical health or safety when found permanently unfit to stand trial.

Removes neurological disorders, neurocognitive disorders, and medical disorders with psychiatric symptoms from the list of conditions that cannot form the sole basis for involuntary detention, while retaining developmental disabilities and physical disabilities on that exclusion list.

Declares an emergency and takes effect July 1, 2026.
