About the Project

In collaboration with Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), the Baker Act Reporting Center has received statewide data on involuntary civil commitments of the mentally ill or Baker Act examinations since 1997. Housed within the Policy and Services Research Data Center, the Baker Act Reporting Center currently has records for over a half million civil commitment examinations. The Center produces an annual report for the Agency for Health Care Administration and other reports for the state legislature, treatment providers, and researchers.
