Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1088, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CORRECTIONS,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this bill is to authorize the Department of Public Safety to timely render involuntary medical treatment, including medication, if the court finds that:

 

     (1)  The inmate or detainee poses a danger of physical harm to self or others;

 

     (2)  Treatment with medication is medically appropriate; and

 

     (3)  Considering less intrusive alternatives, treatment is essential to forestall the danger posed by the inmate or detainee.

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2011; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

No. 1088, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1088, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
