10under ch. 938 shall sign a statement of emergency detention which that shall provide
11detailed specific information concerning the recent overt act, attempt , or threat to
12act or omission on which the belief under sub. (1) is based and the names of persons
13observing or reporting the recent overt act, attempt, or threat to act or omission. The
14law enforcement officer or other person is not required to designate in the statement
15whether the subject individual is mentally ill, developmentally disabled , or drug
16dependent, but shall allege that he or she has cause to believe that the individual
17evidences one or more of these conditions if sub. (1) (a) 1., 2., 3. or 4. is believed or

21has the same effect as a petition for commitment under s. 51.20. When, upon the
22advice of the treatment staff, the director of a facility specified in sub. (2) determines
23that the grounds for detention no longer exist, he or she shall discharge the
24individual detained under this section. Unless a hearing is held under s. 51.20 (7)

AB182,7,54 51.20 (1) (a) 2. e. For an individual, other than an individual who is alleged to
5be drug dependent or developmentally disabled, after the advantages and
6disadvantages of and alternatives to accepting a particular medication or treatment
7have been explained to him or her and because of mental illness, evidences either
8incapability of expressing an understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of
9accepting medication or treatment and the alternatives, or substantial incapability
10of applying an understanding of the advantages, disadvantages, and alternatives to
11his or her mental illness in order to make an informed choice as to whether to accept
12or refuse medication or treatment; and evidences a substantial probability, as
13demonstrated by both the individual's treatment history and his or her recent acts
14or omissions, that the individual needs care or treatment to prevent further
15disability or deterioration and a substantial probability that he or she will, if left
16untreated, lack services necessary for his or her health or safety and suffer severe
17mental, emotional, or physical harm that will result in the loss of the individual's
18ability to function independently in the community or the loss of cognitive or
19volitional control over his or her thoughts or actions. The probability of suffering
20severe mental, emotional, or physical harm is not substantial under this subd. 2. e.

22community and there is a reasonable probability that the individual will avail
23himself or herself of these services or if the individual is appropriate for protective
24placement under s. 55.06. Food, shelter, or other care that is provided to an
25individual who is substantially incapable of obtaining food, shelter , or other care for

1himself or herself by any person other than a treatment facility does not constitute
2reasonable provision for the individual's care or treatment in the community under
3this subd. 2. e. The individual's status as a minor does not automatically establish
4a substantial probability of suffering severe mental, emotional, or physical harm
5under this subd. 2. e. This subd. 2. e. does not apply after November 30, 2001.
