Provides that if the defendant has been placed in an outpatient treatment program, that program shall promptly notify the court, the Department, the State's Attorney and counsel for the defendant should the defendant fail to comply with the provisions of the court order for treatment or should the defendant no longer be appropriate for outpatient fitness restoration.
