MN 72-Hour Psychiatric Hold

This tool explains and calculates the end time of a 72-hour emergency psychiatric hold in Minnesota under Statute §253B.051. The clock runs hour-by-hour on business days only—weekends and legal holidays are excluded.

🧠 How It Works

• The clock starts when a licensed examiner signs the emergency hold order.
• Only non-holiday weekdays count—no weekends or legal holidays.
• The 72-hour period runs hour-by-hour, not just during business hours.
