HB 899 amends procedures for administering medication to defendants discharged from facilities or programs addressing competency restoration. It requires sheriffs to ensure the continuation of prescribed medications, particularly psychotropic drugs, unless directed otherwise by a jail physician. It also mandates documentation of any changes to treatment to avoid adverse impacts on defendants' mental health or legal proceedings. The bill allows for reimbursement to sheriffs for medication costs. The Act takes effect on September 1, 2025​.
