Became Law

Create a new section of KRS Chapter 222 to define "voluntarily"; require treatment centers or programs licensed as a chemical dependency treatment service to provide transportation services to residents who wish to voluntarily leave the program if the resident's family, guardian, or emergency contact does not agree to transport them; outline transportation service responsibilities; prohibit facilities and law enforcement officers from taking the residents to any location other than public transportation locations, locations to meet the driver of a ride-sharing service, or the resident's home; require that the facilities conduct a search of any outstanding warrants; exempt all chemical dependency treatment service facilities holding a license issued in accordance with KRS 216B.042; require the facility to notify family members, the county attorney, local law enforcement, and the court that a resident left the treatment facility in violation of a court order; and allow a peace officer or a probation officer to arrest a resident without a warrant for violating the terms of the resident's conditional discharge or court order.
