 No person shall be court-ordered to assisted outpatient mental health
treatment unless the person:
 Is diagnosed with a serious mental illness;
 Has a history of repeated nonadherence with mental health
treatment, which has:
• At least twice within the last forty-eight (48) months, been a
significant factor in necessitating hospitalization or arrest of
the person; or
• Within the last twenty-four (24) months, resulted in an act,
threat, or attempt at serious physical injury to self or others;
 Is unlikely to adequately adhere to outpatient treatment on a
voluntary basis based on a qualified mental health professional's:
• Clinical observation; and
• Identification of specific characteristics of the person's clinical
condition that significantly impair the person's ability to make
and maintain a rational and informed decision as to whether to
engage in outpatient treatment voluntarily; and
 Is in need of court-ordered assisted outpatient treatment as the least
restrictive alternative mode of treatment presently available and
appropriate.
