JLARC - Involuntary Treatment Act Judicial Cost Reimbursement

Legislation in 2011 (SSB 5531) created a process for Regional Support Networks (RSNs) reimbursement of counties' actual judicial costs associated with the county-prosecuted Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA) cases. The same legislation directed the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee to asses the actual direct costs of providing judicial services for involuntary civil commitments in each county; review and analyze the reasons for differences in costs among counties; and identify issues and methods for updating the costs to reflect changes over time.
