(Section scheduled to be repealed on January 1, 2031)
Sec. 15. Reciprocal agreement. For the purpose of the program, the reciprocal agreement is limited to court orders issued by the courts in the Eastern Iowa Mental Health Region and in Rock Island County, Illinois. Court orders valid under the law of the sending state are granted recognition and reciprocity in the receiving state's respective program service area to the extent that the court orders relate to commitment for inpatient treatment of a mental illness. The court orders are not subject to legal challenge in the courts of the receiving state.
Persons who are detained, committed or placed under the law of a sending state and who are transferred to a receiving state under this Section continue to be in the legal custody of the authority responsible for them under the law of the sending state. Except in emergencies, those persons may not be transferred, removed, or furloughed from a facility of the receiving agency without the specific approval of the authority responsible for them under the law of the sending state.
The receiving facility, whether public or private, must agree to the transfer from the sending state before a transfer takes place. Specifically excluded from the program are those persons who are involved in criminal proceedings.
