 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 730.40 of the criminal procedure
 2 law, as amended by a chapter of the laws of 2025, amending the criminal
 3 procedure law relating to cases terminated due to mental disease or
 4 defect, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 1744-A and A.
 5 2440-A, is amended to read as follows:
 6 2. (a)[(1)] When a local criminal court has issued a final order of

 13 section 29.15 of the mental hygiene law, if applicable, which shall
 14 include referrals to the single point of access or other outpatient

 18 law, including where patient consent is required and has not been
 19 provided; and
 20 [(B)] (2) dismiss the accusatory instrument filed in such court
 21 against the defendant and such dismissal constitutes a bar to any
 22 further prosecution of the charge or charges contained in such accusato-
 23 ry instrument.
 24 [(2) Each appropriate institution shall maintain records compiling all
