Sec. 3-506.
Thirty days after the admission of a minor under Section 3-503
or 3-504, the facility director shall review the minor's record and assess
the need for continuing hospitalization. The facility director shall consult
with the person who executed the application for admission if continuing
hospitalization is indicated and request authorization for continued treatment
of the minor. The request and authorization shall be noted in the minor's
record. Every 60 days thereafter a review shall be conducted and a new
authorization shall be secured from the person who executed the application
for as long as the hospitalization continues. Failure or refusal to authorize
continued treatment shall constitute a request for the minor's discharge.
