After an initial detention in Washington, the MP 303 asks the superior court to order involuntary treatment: a 14-day commitment, a 90-day commitment, or a 90-day less restrictive alternative (LRA) for a mental disorder, substance use disorder or both. A clinician meets it as one of the two examining professionals at the facility providing evaluation services who sign declarations supporting the petition.
Facility professional staff or the designated crisis responder who filed the initial detention petition completes the petition. A physician, physician assistant or psychiatric ARNP and a second examiner (including a mental health or substance use disorder professional) each sign that they examined the respondent and reviewed it.

Two examining professionals sign declarations under penalty of perjury that they examined the respondent and reviewed the petition. One is a physician, physician assistant or psychiatric ARNP; the other may also be an advanced RNP or a mental health or substance use disorder professional. Substance use petitions may be signed by a substance use disorder professional and an ARNP.
The petitioner states whether LRA treatment is or is not in the best interest of the respondent or others. If not, it must be because the person needs intensive, supervised 24-hour care or no sustainable less restrictive placement was found despite diligent efforts.
