AB378,54,15 1. The individual is incapable of expressing an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of accepting treatment and the alternatives.

AB378,54,19 2. The individual is substantially incapable of applying an understanding of the advantages, disadvantages and alternatives to his or her chronic mental illness in order to make an informed choice as to whether to accept or refuse psychotropic medication.

Note: 1995 Wis. Act 292, section 22, repeals and recreates this provision effective December 1, 2001, to return it to the way it read prior to the treatment by Act 292, section 21. Act 292, however, did not take into account the treatment of this provision by 1995 Wis. Act 268. This treatment returns the provision to its pre-Act 292 status, as affected by Act 268, effective December 1, 2001. See also the next 2 sections of this bill.

AB378, s. 152 Section 152. 51.30 (1) (am) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 169, is renumbered 51.62 (1) (am).

Note: This provision was previously numbered s. 51.62 (1) (a) and was inadvertently renumbered to s. 51.30 (1) (am) by 1995 Wisconsin Act 169. The intended result was to renumber it to be s. 51.62 (1) (am).

AB378, s. 153 Section 153. 51.35 (3) (title) of the statutes, as affected by 1995 Wisconsin Act 77, is amended to read:
