| EFFECT: Provides that, at a termination hearing, the court may revoke the Mental Health Sentencing Alternative and impose a standard range sentence, rather than a term of total or partial confinement within the standard sentence range. Provides that, if the sentencing alternative is revoked, the defendant must receive credit against any term of total confinement for time served while in compliance and actively supervised in the community, rather than while actively supervised in the community. Removes the requirement for the Health Care Authority (HCA) to contract with a behavioral health agency, or an organization whose membership includes behavioral health agencies, to reimburse behavioral health providers, in an amount not to exceed $1,000 per individual participating in the sentencing alternative, for the following services: in-custody mental health assessments, treatment plan development, monitoring the defendant's adherence to the treatment plan and the sentencing alternative, and reporting to the court and the Department of Corrections; instead requires the HCA to reimburse directly for those services, without the reimbursement limit of $1,000 per individual. Removes a definition of "behavioral health provider." |
