The Utah House and Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday to extend the amount of time an individual with a dangerous mental health crisis can be committed to a hospital before being released or transferred to long-term treatment. Passed during the final week of the 2024 legislative session, HB299 will now head to the desk of Gov. Spencer Cox where his action will determine whether the bill becomes law on May 1. Current code gives hospitals 24 hours before they have to discharge mentally ill individuals who are brought, often by law enforcement, with suicidal or homicidal intentions.
