Requires the office of judicial administration to establish and administer a program to provide a regional pool of mental health examiners who are available for appointment upon request by a court to conduct: (1) a competency examination of a defendant; and (2) mental health evaluations following a notice of an insanity defense; in a criminal case. Amends current law concerning the number of individuals who a court is required to appoint in these circumstances (except in the case of a notice of an insanity defense in a homicide case, which remains unchanged). Provides that the establishment of the program is subject to appropriation by the general assembly.
