Kentucky Hospitalization-Disability Summons is a document that authorizes the involuntary hospitalization or commitment of an individual for mental health treatment. The document is issued by a court, and it must be signed by a judge or a magistrate. There are two types of Kentucky Hospitalization-Disability Summons: one for hospitalization and one for disability. The Hospitalization Summons authorizes the involuntary hospitalization of an individual for mental health treatment, while the Disability Summons authorizes the involuntary commitment to a mental health facility of an individual who is deemed to be a danger to himself or others. Both documents must be signed by a judge or a magistrate, and both require a hearing before a judge or magistrate to determine the validity of the summons.
