The Department intends to amend: (1) Rules 65E-5.1303 and 65E-5.2801, F.A.C., to authorize psychiatric nurses to perform involuntary examinations and to require psychiatric nurses to notify community aftercare providers or other entities responsible for dispensing or administering medication of a patient’s release from a mental health treatment facility; (2) Rule 65E-5.170, F.A.C., to incorporate by reference revised versions of forms: (a) CF-MH 3032, “Petition for Involuntary Inpatient Placement;” (b) CF-MH 3130, “Petition for Involuntary Outpatient Placement;” and (c) CF-MH 3104, “Certification of Person’s Competence to Provide Express and Informed Consent;” (3) Rule 65E-5.2801, F.A.C., to incorporate language that requires proof that a person has acknowledged, in writing, his or her understanding that he or she may be prohibited from purchasing a firearm or may have to surrender or may be prohibited from obtaining a concealed weapons license as a result of an involuntary inpatient or outpatient placement in a mental health facility. This rule revision incorporates a new form, CF-MH 3186, “Patient’s Notice and Acknowledgment–Purchase of Firearms and Application for or Retention of a Concealed Weapons or Firearms License;” (4) Rules 65E-5.285 and 65E-5.290, F.A.C., to incorporate by reference a revised version of CF-MH 3114, “Order Requiring Involuntary Assessment and Stabilization for Substance Abuse and for Baker Act Discharge of Person,” and CF-MH 3115, “Order Requiring Evaluation for Involuntary Outpatient Placement,” respectively. Both rules are amended to cross reference the newly created notice and acknowledgment form, CF-MH 3186, “Patient’s Notice and Acknowledgment—Purchase of Firearms and Application for or Retention of a Concealed Weapons Firearms License.”
