Informing the Legislature that on May 27, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2505 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 052).

This bill serves as a formal notification that Governor Josh Green signed HB 2505 into law on May 27, 2026, making it official state legislation. The underlying law modifies how the state handles individuals committed to the Department of Health for mental health treatment by adding a new pathway called assisted community treatment. Under this provision, if a clinical team decides an individual does not need involuntary hospitalization but still requires oversight, they must identify a community mental health program to provide services and file a petition with the family court. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2026, and ensures that individuals remain in custody only until a judge rules on the petition for community treatment.
