Bill Title: Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code and the Probate Act of 1975. Provides that a person who may be voluntarily admitted to a mental health facility includes a person adjudicated a disabled person. Provides for voluntary admission to a mental health facility if the facility director determines and documents in the recipient's medical record that the person (i) is clinically suitable for admission as a voluntary recipient and (ii) has the capacity to consent to voluntary admission (instead of if the director deems such person clinically suitable for admission as a voluntary recipient). Sets forth factors to be considered in determining whether a person has the capacity to consent to voluntary admission. Provides that a guardian of the person may not admit a ward to a mental health facility except at the ward's request as provided in the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code and unless the ward has the capacity to consent to such admission.
