Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The change implemented was the renaming of the insanity defence from "not guilty by reason of insanity" (NGRI) to "not criminally responsible on account of a mental disorder" (NCRMD). This change was made to address the stigmatizing connotations of the word "insanity" and to better reflect the legal and medical terminology surrounding mental health.
