AB130, s. 393 4Section 393. 51.15 (1) (a) (intro.), 3. and 4. of the statutes are amended to read:
AB130,111,95 51.15 (1) (a) (intro.) A law enforcement officer or other person authorized to
6take a child into custody under ch. 48 or 938 may take an individual into custody if
7the officer or person has cause to believe that such individual is mentally ill, drug
8dependent or developmentally disabled, and that the individual evidences any of the
9following:
AB130,111,2010 3. A substantial probability of physical impairment or injury to himself or
11herself due to impaired judgment, as manifested by evidence of a recent act or
12omission. The probability of physical impairment or injury is not substantial under
13this subdivision if reasonable provision for the individual's protection is available in
14the community and there is a reasonable probability that the individual will avail
15himself or herself of these services or, in the case of a minor, if the individual is
16appropriate for services or placement under s. 48.13 (4) or (11) or 938.13 (4). Food,
17shelter or other care provided to an individual who is substantially incapable of
18obtaining the care for himself or herself, by any person other than a treatment
19facility, does not constitute reasonable provision for the individual's protection
20available in the community under this subdivision.
AB130,112,1321 4. Behavior manifested by a recent act or omission that, due to mental illness
22or drug dependency, he or she is unable to satisfy basic needs for nourishment,
23medical care, shelter or safety without prompt and adequate treatment so that a
24substantial probability exists that death, serious physical injury, serious physical
25debilitation or serious physical disease will imminently ensue unless the individual

1receives prompt and adequate treatment for this mental illness or drug dependency.
2No substantial probability of harm under this subdivision exists if reasonable
3provision for the individual's treatment and protection is available in the community
4and there is a reasonable probability that the individual will avail himself or herself
5of these services, if the individual can receive protective placement under s. 55.06 or,
6in the case of a minor, if the individual is appropriate for services or placement under
7s. 48.13 (4) or (11) or 938.13 (4). The individual's status as a minor does not
8automatically establish a substantial probability of death, serious physical injury,
9serious physical debilitation or serious disease under this subdivision. Food, shelter
10or other care provided to an individual who is substantially incapable of providing
11the care for himself or herself, by any person other than a treatment facility, does not
12constitute reasonable provision for the individual's treatment or protection available
13in the community under this subdivision.

20order under s. 48.30 938.30 (5) (c) 1. or (d) 1., a finding by the court exercising
21jurisdiction under ch. chs. 48 and 938 that the child committed the act or acts alleged
22in the petition under s. 48.12 or 48.13 938.12 or 938.13 (12) may be used to prove that

1c. Evidences such impaired judgment, manifested by evidence of a pattern of
2recent acts or omissions, that there is a substantial probability of physical
3impairment or injury to himself or herself. The probability of physical impairment
4or injury is not substantial under this subd. 2. c. if reasonable provision for the
5subject individual's protection is available in the community and there is a
6reasonable probability that the individual will avail himself or herself of these
7services, if the individual is appropriate for protective placement under s. 55.06 or,
8in the case of a minor, if the individual is appropriate for services or placement under
9s. 48.13 (4) or (11) or 938.13 (4). The subject individual's status as a minor does not
10automatically establish a substantial probability of physical impairment or injury
11under this subd. 2. c. Food, shelter or other care provided to an individual who is
12substantially incapable of obtaining the care for himself or herself, by a person other
13than a treatment facility, does not constitute reasonable provision for the subject
14individual's protection available in the community under this subd. 2. c.
AB130,114,715 d. Evidences behavior manifested by recent acts or omissions that, due to
16mental illness, he or she is unable to satisfy basic needs for nourishment, medical
17care, shelter or safety without prompt and adequate treatment so that a substantial
18probability exists that death, serious physical injury, serious physical debilitation or
19serious physical disease will imminently ensue unless the individual receives
20prompt and adequate treatment for this mental illness. No substantial probability
21of harm under this subd. 2. d. exists if reasonable provision for the individual's
22treatment and protection is available in the community and there is a reasonable
23probability that the individual will avail himself or herself of these services, if the
24individual is appropriate for protective placement under s. 55.06 or, in the case of a
25minor, if the individual is appropriate for services or placement under s. 48.13 (4) or

1(11) or 938.13 (4). The individual's status as a minor does not automatically establish
2a substantial probability of death, serious physical injury, serious physical
3debilitation or serious disease under this subd. 2. d. Food, shelter or other care
4provided to an individual who is substantially incapable of obtaining the care for
5himself or herself, by any person other than a treatment facility, does not constitute
6reasonable provision for the individual's treatment or protection available in the
7community under this subd. 2. d.
