XXI, Sec. 12 Suspended status

Part XXI. Procedure for Mental Health Courts

(1) In the event a situation arises in which it becomes impracticable for a participant to meet mental health court requirements, the mental health court judge may issue an order placing the participant on suspended status. Examples of impracticability may include but are not limited to, contagious or infectious disease, short-term medical care for a family member, or any other reason that would cause a temporary inability to meet mental health court requirements. Once the participant has the ability to resume full participation in the mental health court, the mental health court judge shall enter an order resuming active status and returning the participant to mental health court supervision.

(2) During the time in which the participant is suspended, no credit shall be earned toward the completion of the mental health court requirements.
