Kentucky Revised Statutes Title L. Kentucky Penal Code § 504.110.Alternative handling of defendant depending on whether he or she is competent or incompetent to stand trial; commitment proceeding

(1) If the court finds the defendant incompetent to stand trial but there is a substantial probability the defendant will attain competency in the foreseeable future, it shall commit the defendant to a treatment facility or a forensic psychiatric facility and order the defendant to submit to treatment for sixty (60) days or until the psychologist or psychiatrist treating him or her finds the defendant competent to stand trial, whichever occurs first, except that if the defendant is charged with a felony, he or she shall be committed to a forensic psychiatric facility unless the secretary or the secretary's designee determines that the defendant shall be treated in another Cabinet for Health and Family Services facility. Within ten (10) days of that time, the court shall hold another hearing to determine whether or not the defendant is competent to stand trial.

(2) If the court finds the defendant incompetent to stand trial and there is no substantial probability he or she will attain competency in the foreseeable future:

(3) A defendant who is the subject of an involuntary commitment proceeding under KRS 202C.010, 202C.020, 202C.030, 202C.040, and 202C.050 shall be committed to a forensic psychiatric facility unless the secretary or the secretary's designee determines that the defendant shall be treated in another Cabinet for Health and Family Services facility, during the pendency of the proceeding.

(4) If the court finds the defendant competent to stand trial, the court shall continue the proceedings against the defendant.
