AI Summary

  • "Reasonable period of time" for competency restoration is capped at the lesser of 2 years or the maximum sentence for the most serious charged offense; time during which a defendant refuses prescribed competency-restoring medication does not count toward this limit

  • Courts must hold a hearing within 30 days after the reasonable restoration period expires; if restoration is unsuccessful but additional services could help, courts may order up to an additional 2 years of treatment

  • When a defendant found incompetent is civilly committed after criminal charges are dismissed, the statute of limitations on those charges is tolled until the person is discharged from the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services

  • The Department must provide annual competency progress reports and give 60 days' notice before any discharge, leave, or transfer of persons committed following dismissal of criminal charges; prosecutors may object and request a court hearing

  • Prosecutors objecting to discharge must prove by clear and convincing evidence that release should not occur; either party may appeal, and courts may stay discharge orders pending appeal
