Admission to a state institution or other designated receiving facility shall be in accordance with the following: (1) A guardian may admit a ward to a state institution or other designated receiving facility with prior approval of the probate court if, following notice and hearing, the court finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the placement is in the ward's best interest and is the least restrictive placement available. Authorization for such admission shall not be time limited unless the court so orders. Authority to admit a ward to a state institution or other designated receiving facility with prior approval under this subparagraph shall not be subject to the limitations contained in RSA 464-A:25, I(a)(2) through (7). (2) A guardian may admit a ward to a state institution or other designated receiving facility without prior approval of the probate court upon written certification by a physician licensed in the state of New Hampshire, or, in the case of placement in New Hampshire hospital or other designated receiving facility, by a psychiatrist licensed in the state of New Hampshire, or an advanced practice registered nurse, as defined in RSA 135-C:2, II-a, that the placement is in the ward's best interest and is the least restrictive placement available. Within 36 hours, excluding days when the court is closed, of such an admission of a ward to a state institution or other designated receiving facility, the guardian shall submit to the Merrimack county probate court notice of the admission and the reasons therefor, together with a copy of the certificate by the physician, psychiatrist, or advanced practice registered nurse. (3) The Merrimack county probate court shall review the guardian's notice within 48 hours of the filing of the notice, excluding days when the court is closed, to determine whether the notice on its face appears to establish that the placement is in the ward's best interest and is the least restrictive placement available. If the court concludes that the notice is insufficient, the court shall order the immediate release of the ward from the state institution or other designated receiving facility. If the court concludes that the notice is sufficient, counsel for the ward shall be appointed no later than 48 hours following the court's review of the guardian's notice, excluding days when the court is closed. Notice of the appointment shall be transmitted to the ward, to the guardian, and to counsel. Counsel's notice shall be transmitted in writing and electroni-cally or in another manner which is likely to give actual notice of the appointment to counsel at the earliest practicable time. For purposes of proceedings regarding admissions to state institutions or other designated receiving facilities without prior court approval, the ward shall have the right to legal counsel in the same manner as provided in RSA 464-A:6. The court shall also provide the ward a notice stating that the ward has the right to appointed counsel, the right to oppose the admission by the guardian, and the right to a hearing and to present evidence at that hearing. (4) Counsel for a ward admitted to a state institution or other designated receiving facility who has been appointed pursuant to subparagraph (3) shall deliver a written report to the court within 5 days of his or her appointment which shall declare whether the ward requests a hearing on the propriety of the admission. Unless the ward waives a hearing, counsel's report shall include a request for a hearing on behalf of the ward. A copy of counsel's report shall be sent to the ward and to the guardian. If the court does not receive a written report from counsel within 5 days of counsel's appointment, the court shall order appropriate relief, including but not limited to substitution of counsel, an order to show cause, or scheduling of a hearing on the propriety of the admission without awaiting a report from counsel. (5) Upon receipt of a request for a hearing, the court shall schedule a hearing on the admission to a state institution or other designated receiving facility without prior approval of the probate court, at which the guardian shall have the burden of proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the placement is in the ward's best interest and is the least restrictive placement available. The hearing shall be held within 10 days, excluding days when the court is closed, from the date that the request is received. (6) A guardian may not admit a ward to a state institution or other designated receiving facility for more than 60 days for any single admission or more than 90 days in any 12- month period upon certification of a physician or psychiatrist, or an advanced practice registered nurse, as defined in RSA 135-C:2, II-a, without filing a petition requesting approval of the probate court. (7) At any time, the ward or counsel for the ward may request a hearing on the admission to a state institution or other designated receiving facility without prior approval of the probate court, at which the guardian shall have the burden of proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the placement is in the ward's best interest and is the least restrictive placement available. The hearing shall be held within 15 days, excluding days when the court is closed, from the date that the hearing is requested. 10 New Section; Rescission of Involuntary Admission. Amend RSA 135-C by inserting after section 29 the following new section: 135-C:29-a Rescission of Involuntary Admission. I.

(b) An assertive community treatment team operated by a community mental health program accepts transfer of the person's care. (c) A community-based provider accepts transfer of the person's care. II. Following completion of an involuntary emergency admission certificate under RSA 135- C:28 and before custody of the person is accepted by a law enforcement officer pursuant to RSA 135- C:29, the certificate shall be rescinded and the person who is the subject of the certificate released if the physician or APRN who completed the certificate, or any other physician or APRN authorized to complete such certificates, finds that the person no longer meets the criteria of RSA 135-C:27.

The Department anticipates that these sections will create greater efficiencies in the delivery of behavioral health and IEA services, however the fiscal impact is indeterminable at this time.\n\nSection 7 requires that prior to issuing a confidential letter of concern, the Department refer the minor and minor's family to ameliorative services or offer voluntary services. The Department assumes that the cost of these provisions will be consistent with the appropriations found in sections 10 and 12 of the bill.\n\nSections 8 and 9 remove the parents' responsibility to reimburse the State for the cost of voluntary services. The Department assumes these provisions will result in a small but indeterminable increase in costs.\n\nSection 10 appropriates $1.5 million in General Funds in FY19 for the purpose of funding voluntary services. The Department states there is a potential federal match of an indeterminable amount.\n\nSections 11 and 12 reinstate the incentive fund program under RSA 170-G:4 and appropriate $1.5 million in General Funds in FY19 for the purpose of funding community-based programs and services. The Department states there is a potential federal match of an indeterminable amount.\n\nSection 13 appropriates $1.5 million in General Funds in FY19 for the purpose of adding funds for the state loan repayment program (SLRP).\n\nSection 14 provides that the NH Home Visiting Program shall be available to Medicaid-eligible families without restriction. The Department projects increased General Fund expenditures of $60,000 in FY19 as a result of this section. The bill does not make a new appropriation for this purpose.\n\nSection 15 amends RSA 135-C by creating a new section regarding rescission of an involuntary emergency provision. The Department is unable to determine the fiscal impact of this section.\n\nSection 16 appropriates $310,000 in General Funds in FY19 for the purpose of hiring three attorneys within the Division for Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). The Department anticipates a federal match of $99,200, for a total expenditure of $409,200 in FY19.\n\nSection 17 appropriates $1,162,135 in General Funds in FY19 for the purpose of funding the developmental disabilities wait list. The Department anticipates a federal match of the same amount, for total expenditures of $2,324,270.\n\nSection 18 changes the reporting date for the Department's submission of the 10-year plan for mental health services from July 1, 2018 to October 15, 2018. The Department anticipates no fiscal impact.\n\nSections 19 and 20 require the Department to issue requests for proposals for a behavioral health crisis treatment center and, contingent upon available funding, an additional mobile health crisis treatment team and apartments. The Department anticipates no fiscal impact.\n\nSection 21 requires the Department to contract with programs that enable individuals with serious mental illness to attain and maintain integrated housing. The contracts shall be funded from existing appropriations not to exceed $500,000, hence there is no fiscal impact.\n\nSection 22 clarifies the process for documenting consent for medical treatment for minors receiving foster care and related services. The Department anticipates no fiscal impact.\n\nAGENCIES CONTACTED:\n\nDepartment of Health and Human Services", "in_text": [], "chars": 22967}, "nver": 0, "namd": 0, "rsa": {"RSA 126-A": "/laws/126-a", "RSA 126-A:75": "/laws/126-a#s75", "RSA 135-C:2": "/laws/135-c#s2", "RSA 135-C:28": "/laws/135-c#s28", "RSA 135-C:27": "/laws/135-c#s27", "RSA 135-C:15": "/laws/135-c#s15", "RSA 135-C:27-33": "/laws/135-c", "RSA 135-C:50": "/laws/135-c#s50", "RSA 135-C:51": "/laws/135-c#s51", "RSA 464-A:25": "/laws/464-a#s25", "RSA 464-A:6": "/laws/464-a#s6", "RSA 135-C": "/laws/135-c", "RSA 126-A:13": "/laws/126-a#s13", "RSA 170-G:4": "/laws/170-g#s4"}, "amends": {"RSA 126-A": "/laws/126-a", "RSA 135-C:2": "/laws/135-c#s2", "RSA 135-C:28": "/laws/135-c#s28", "RSA 135-C:50": "/laws/135-c#s50", "RSA 135-C:51": "/laws/135-c#s51", "RSA 464-A:25": "/laws/464-a#s25", "RSA 135-C": "/laws/135-c", "RSA 126-A:75": "/laws/126-a#s75"}, "changed": ["135-C:2", "135-C:28", "135-C:29-a", "135-C:50", "135-C:51", "464-A:25"]}
