The ACLU of Maryland urges a favorable report on HB 111 / SB 233, which would require courts to specify the date on which a defendant who has been found incompetent to stand trial or not criminally responsible must be committed to a health care facility. The bill also creates a rebuttable presumption of contempt if the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) fails to comply with the court order, and allows the court to impose fines and other sanctions.
