HRS §334-60.2

This law says when a court can order someone into a psychiatric hospital against their will. The person must have a mental illness or substance abuse problem, be an immediate danger to themselves or others, and need care that no less restrictive option can provide.

The statute, as written — Involuntary hospitalization criteria
An individual may be committed to a psychiatric facility for involuntary hospitalization if the court finds: (1) That the individual is mentally ill or suffering from substance abuse; (2) That the individual is imminently dangerous to self or others; and (3) That the individual is in need of care or treatment, or both, and there is no suitable alternative available through existing facilities and programs that would be less restrictive than hospitalization.
