If the division identifies at least twenty-five persons who meet this criteria, the department shall request funding for a secure facility. The division shall not include a person who is also diagnosed with a mental health illness in this calculation.

B. For the purposes of this section, "incompetent to stand trial" and "threat to public safety" have the same meaning prescribed in section 13-4501.
