This rule, which addressed the right to treatment under Florida's forensic mental health statutes (Chapter 916, F.S.), has been repealed as of January 5, 2021. No active compliance obligations remain. The underlying statute (s. 916.107(2), F.S.) governs forensic clients — individuals found incompetent to proceed or not guilty by reason of insanity — in state-operated psychiatric and residential treatment settings. Operators should verify that any current right-to-treatment obligations are sourced from the statute directly or successor rules.
