H 614 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED AND MENTALLY ILL PERSONS – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the detention or involuntary admission of developmentally disabled or mentally ill persons.

Idaho bill H 614 amends laws governing the involuntary detention or admission of individuals with developmental disabilities or mental illness. It revises key definitions, including clarifying "gravely disabled" as inability to meet basic needs like safety or medical care, and creates a rebuttable presumption that a person unable to meet essential health/safety requirements may be involuntarily admitted. The bill also updates procedures for court commitments and expands definitions for terms like "mentally ill" and "outpatient treatment." These changes directly affect individuals with developmental disabilities or mental illness who may face involuntary detention, as well as healthcare facilities and legal processes handling such cases.
