The Birth of SB 16
The birth of SB 16 Geriatric psychiatrist Maureen C. Nash, MD, MS, who practices at Tuality Medical Center, was seeing increasing numbers of older adults being referred for psychiatric hospitalization due to dementia and behavior disturbances who had signed advance directives but were still being required to go through the mental health involuntary commitment process or the temporary guardianship process in order to be admitted to psychiatric facilities for treatment and stabilization. She requested amendment to AD statutesthrough the the Senate Interim Committee on HHS to expand health care representative authority to consent to psychiatric hospitalization and treatment.
