What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a person is committed to institutional care following a finding of not guilty by mental disease or mental defect, the person may petition a court to be placed on conditional release after six months of commitment. If the court grants conditional release, the court may revoke the release if the person violates a rule or condition of the release or for the safety of the person or another. Under current law, if a court revokes a person's conditional release, the person may not petition the court to be placed again on conditional release until at least six months have passed since the revocation. Under this bill, if a court revokes a person's conditional release, that court must determine when the person may petition the court to be placed again on conditional release.
