What it does

The synopsis the General Assembly published with the bill.

To provide for the civil commitment of a person found not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, rather than the continued commitment of such person to the Psychiatric Security Review Board, when it is determined that such person's discharge at the end of such person's term of commitment would constitute a danger to himself or herself or others.
