Rules and Forms | Mental Health Law: CARE Act and Related Proceedings (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Probate and Mental Health Advisory Committee recommends approving an optional form for the court’s use to order the county agency to provide information to the respondent’s attorney in specified related proceedings that a petition to commence proceedings under the Community Assistance, Recovery, and Empowerment (CARE) Act has been filed on the respondent’s behalf. This form, recommended in response to comments from courts and counties, would facilitate the process required by rule 7.2210(e) of the California Rules of Court.
Recommendation
The Probate and Mental Health Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective September 1, 2024, approve Order to Provide Information to Respondent’s Attorney in Related Proceedings (form CARE-103) for optional use.
