The Mental Health area of the Probate Department maintains the records for involuntary procedures, which include:
A Baker Act (Chapter 394, Florida Statutes) is a means of providing individuals with emergency services and temporary detention for mental health examination and treatment when required.
A Marchman Act (Chapter 397, Florida Statutes) is a means of providing individuals with services at a facility for substance abuse when required.
As in other probate proceedings, a hearing may be necessary when mental-health cases are presented to the Court for consideration of all orders.
The majority of files maintained in the mental health-area are confidential and exempt from public access.
