(a) For the purposes of this chapter, an individual is "dangerous" if:
- (1) the individual presents an imminent risk of personal injury to the individual or to another individual; or
(2) it is probable that the individual will present a risk of personal injury to the individual or to another individual in the future and the individual:
- (A) has a mental illness (as defined in IC 12-7-2.1-226 ) that may be controlled by medication, and has not demonstrated a pattern of voluntarily and consistently taking the individual's medication while not under supervision; or
- (B) is the subject of documented evidence that would give rise to a reasonable belief that the individual has a propensity for violent or suicidal conduct.
- (b) The fact that an individual has been released from a mental health facility or has a mental illness that is currently controlled by medication does not establish that the individual is dangerous for the purposes of this chapter.
