description: "Existing law requires that no inmate be administered psychotropic medication on a nonemergency basis without the inmate's informed consent, unless after a noticed hearing is conducted in which an administrative law judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the inmate has a mental illness or disorder, that as a result of that illness the inmate is gravely disabled and lacks the capacity to consent or refuse treatment or is a danger to self or others if not medicated, that there is no less intrusive alternative to involuntary medication, and that the medication is in the inmate's best interest. Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to seek to initiate involuntary medication on a nonemergency basis only if specified conditions are met, including that a psychiatrist has determined that the inmate is gravely disabled or is a danger to self or others and does not have the capacity to refuse treatment with psychotropic medication."

# California AB 1907 (20112012) — Inmates: psychiatric medication.
|
||
|
||
Existing law requires that no inmate be administered psychotropic medication on a nonemergency basis without the inmate's informed consent, unless after a noticed hearing is conducted in which an administrative law judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the inmate has a mental illness or disorder, that as a result of that illness the inmate is gravely disabled and lacks the capacity to consent or refuse treatment or is a danger to self or others if not medicated, that there is no less intrusive alternative to involuntary medication, and that the medication is in the inmate's best interest. Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to seek to initiate involuntary medication on a nonemergency basis only if specified conditions are met, including that a psychiatrist has determined that the inmate is gravely disabled or is a danger to self or others and does not have the capacity to refuse treatment with psychotropic medication.
