Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill extends comprehensive programs established by the Department of Health Services, voluntary treatment, treatment and other services, certain emergency and involuntary commitment procedures, and civil rights among other services to those persons who are drug dependent. Currently, those provisions and services apply only to alcoholics and those who are intoxicated as a result of the use of alcohol.

The current emergency detention criteria and procedures for alcoholics and intoxicated persons, which are different from the traditional emergency detention criteria and procedures, specify that either an intoxicated person who has threatened, attempted, or inflicted physical harm on himself or herself or another and is likely to inflict physical harm unless committed or a person incapacitated by alcohol may be committed and brought to a facility for emergency treatment upon the petition of an individual and pending a preliminary hearing, which the court must schedule within 48 hours of receipt of the petition. Currently, three adults may petition the court for involuntary commitment of a person for use of alcohol, which is a separate procedure from a traditional involuntary commitment procedure. The petition for involuntary commitment must 1) allege habitual lack of self-control as to the use of alcohol to the extent that health is substantially impaired or endangered and social or economic functioning is substantially disrupted; 2) allege that the person's condition is evidenced by a pattern of conduct that is dangerous to the person or others; 3) state that the person is a child or state facts sufficient for a determination of indigency; 4) be supported by the affidavit of each petitioner who has personal knowledge of the factual basis for the allegations; and 5) contain a statement of each petitioner who does not have personal knowledge for the basis of his or her belief. The court must set a preliminary hearing on the petition to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the allegations in the petition are true and then, if probable cause is found, must set a full hearing on the involuntary commitment. The bill extends these emergency and involuntary commitment procedures to persons who have drug dependence, who are incapacitated by use of other drugs, and who habitually lack self-control as to the use of drugs. The bill does not change the current criteria or procedures for involuntary commitment of a drug dependent person under the traditional involuntary commitment for treatment provision.

If no approved public treatment facility is readily available or if, in the judgment of the law enforcement officer or designated person, the person is in need of emergency medical treatment, the law enforcement officer or designated person upon the request of the law enforcement officer shall take such person to an emergency medical facility. The law enforcement officer or designated person, in detaining such person or in taking him or her to an approved public treatment facility or emergency medical facility, is holding such person under protective custody and shall make every reasonable effort to protect the person's health and safety. In placing the person under protective custody the law enforcement officer may search such person for and seize any weapons. Placement under protective custody under this subsection is not an arrest.

A refusal to undergo treatment does not constitute evidence of lack of judgment as to the need for treatment.

AB5,16,4 (c) 4. Set a time for a preliminary hearing under sub. (13) (d), such hearing to be held not later than 48 hours after receipt of a petition under par. (b), exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. If at such time the person is unable to assist in the defense because he or she is incapacitated by alcohol or another drug, an extension of not more than 48 hours, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, may be had upon motion of the person or the person's attorney.

AB5,16,10 (13) (a) (intro.) A person may be committed to the custody of the county department by the circuit court upon the petition of 3 adults, at least one of whom has personal knowledge of the conduct and condition of the person sought to be committed.
