Kentucky district courts use the AOC-720B when a petition seeks involuntary admission of a person with an intellectual disability to an intermediate care facility (ICF/ID) under KRS 202B. A clinician meets it after examining the respondent for the court case. The sworn certification gives the professional's opinion on intellectual disability, danger, benefit from ICF/ID treatment and least restrictive placement, with facts for each finding.
A qualified intellectual disabilities professional (physician, licensed psychologist, qualifying registered nurse, social worker, marriage and family therapist or professional counselor) or a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist or physician with special training and experience in intellectual disability completes the whole affidavit. The affiant also states whether they work in the community or for a state-operated ICF/ID.

A qualified intellectual disabilities professional, such as a Kentucky-licensed physician, a psychologist licensed under KRS Chapter 319, or a nurse, social worker, therapist or counselor who meets the experience requirements printed on the form, or a licensed psychiatrist, psychologist or physician with special training and experience serving people with an intellectual disability.
Four checked findings with supporting facts: whether the respondent is intellectually disabled, whether they present a danger or threat of danger to self, family or others, whether they can reasonably benefit from ICF/ID treatment, and whether ICF/ID placement is the least restrictive alternative. A diagnostic impression follows.
No. The AOC-720A covers involuntary psychiatric hospitalization of a person with mental illness under KRS 202A, while the AOC-720B covers involuntary admission of a person with an intellectual disability to an ICF/ID under KRS 202B, with criteria written for that setting.
