It means basically that a judge says you’re a danger to yourself or others and you have to stay in the tank for longer than 72 hours. Often they’ll give people a choice, if you want to leave, face the judge.. Otherwise you stay voluntarily and it doesn’t go on your record.

If someone says you’re suicidal or whatever and throws you in, it’s best to go with it and not get it on your record.

This Law will never fly. Since these are medical records, I believe some one will sue to overturn based on Privacy rights. The gungrabbers will claim that everyone that wants to possess a gun is mentally unsound.Of course if we locked up ALL the nutcases, who would we get to guard them?
