Adds a new circumstance allowing neuroleptic medication administration without judicial review when a patient has been previously prescribed the medication but lacks capacity to consent upon admission to a treatment facility, if continued administration is in the patient's best interest and the patient does not refuse.

Permits continued administration of previously prescribed neuroleptic medication for up to 14 days while the treating physician obtains a court-appointed substitute decision-maker or requests an amendment to an existing court order.

Renumbers existing provisions regarding substitute decision-maker consent and emergency situations from clauses (4) and (5) to (4) and (5) respectively.

Authorizes the Commissioner of Human Services to create a pilot program in no more than three counties to test providing notice and information to the commissioner prior to or when a commitment petition is filed for patients committed to the commissioner.

Requires the commissioner to report pilot program status to legislative committee chairs and ranking minority members by January 15, 2015, addressing issues raised in the February 2013 Office of the Legislative Auditor report on state-operated services.
