THAT'S been a thing for a long time now, they're called emergency detention laws and all states have them. They're SUPPOSED to be there for things like bioterror (terrorists aren't going to consent to treatment or want to stay in a hospital) or for those special kind of stupid people who get something like Ebola or Smallpox and want to leave while being walking bio bombs able to to kill a ton of people.....Basically a Baker Act but for physical illnesses.
