Summary

Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Provides that if the respondent is unable to obtain an examination in an involuntary admission proceeding or in a proceeding seeking the administration of psychotropic medication or electroconvulsive therapy, the respondent may request that the court order an examination to be made by a physician, qualified examiner, clinical psychologist, or other expert (rather than by an impartial medical expert under Supreme Court Rules or by a qualified examiner, clinical psychologist, or other expert). Provides that the court must determine the compensation of the examiner or other expert. Provides that the compensation must be paid by the respondent's county of residence unless the respondent is not a resident of the State, in which case the fee must be paid by the county in which the proceeding is pending. Deletes provision that determination of the compensation of the physician, qualified examiner, clinical psychologist, or other expert and its payment shall be governed by Supreme Court Rule.
