For Receiving Facilities

Overview

The Baker Act Reporting Center is contracted with the Department of Children and Families to analyze involuntary examination data. These Baker Act data are used to create a statutorily required annual report [F.S. 394.463(2)(a)3(e)], as well as additional reporting to address a variety of policy issues. 

This section of the website is intended for Baker Act receiving facilities to provide technical assistance as needed and address commonly asked questions.
