Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 2011 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INVOLUNTARY PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALIZATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Removing substance abuse from the scope of this measure;

(3) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments to correct redundancies, and for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2011, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2011, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
