Revising the reimbursement and transportation process for post mental health involuntary commitment

HB 2704 revises transportation and reimbursement rules for individuals involuntarily committed to mental health facilities in West Virginia. It allows counties to use multiple deputies during transport and permits counties to contract with closer out-of-state facilities if available. The bill amends existing law (§27-5-4) to give counties flexibility in managing transportation logistics after commitment. This directly affects individuals under involuntary commitment orders and local county mental health authorities. The changes aim to improve efficiency in the post-commitment transportation process.
