b)         For a committed person who is to be conditionally released under an initial commitment order, the plan shall be presented to the court for its approval within 21 days after the court finding that the person is appropriate for conditional release, unless the Department and the person to be released request additional time to develop the plan.

c)         For a committed person who is to be conditionally released from a secure residential facility, the plan shall be presented to the court for its approval within 60 days after the court finding that the person is appropriate for conditional release, unless the Department and the person to be released request additional time to develop the plan.
