(405 ILCS 5/3-813) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-813) Sec. 3-813. (a) An initial order for commitment on an inpatient basis shall be for a
period not to exceed 90 days. Prior to the expiration of the
initial order
if the facility director believes that the recipient continues to be
subject to involuntary admission on an inpatient or outpatient basis, a new petition and 2 new certificates may
be filed with the court. If a petition is filed, the facility director
shall file with the court a current treatment plan which includes an
evaluation of the recipient's progress and the extent to which he is
benefiting from treatment. If no petition is filed prior to the expiration
of the initial order, the recipient shall be discharged. Following a hearing,
the court may order a second period of commitment on an inpatient basis not to exceed 90
days only if it finds that the recipient continues to be subject to
involuntary admission on an inpatient basis. If, following a hearing, the court determines that
the respondent is subject to involuntary admission on an outpatient basis as provided in Section
3-812, the court may order the respondent committed on an outpatient basis for a
period not to exceed 180 days. (a-1) An initial order of commitment on an outpatient basis shall be for a period not to
exceed 180 days. Prior to the expiration of the initial order, if the facility director or the custodian
believes that the recipient continues to be subject to involuntary admission on an outpatient basis,
a new petition and 2 new certificates may be filed with the court. If a petition is filed, the facility
director or the custodian shall file with the court a current treatment plan which includes an
evaluation of the recipient's progress and the extent to which he or she is benefiting from treatment. If
no petition is filed prior to the expiration of the initial order, the recipient shall be discharged.
Following a hearing, the court may order a second period of commitment on an outpatient basis
not to exceed 180 days only if it finds that the recipient continues to be subject to involuntary
admission on an outpatient basis. (b) Additional 180 day periods of inpatient or outpatient commitment may be sought pursuant to
the procedures set out in this Section for so long as the recipient continues
to meet the standard for such commitment. The provisions of this chapter which
apply whenever an initial order is sought shall apply whenever an
additional period of inpatient or outpatient commitment is sought.(Source: P.A. 96-1399, eff. 7-29-10; 96-1453, eff. 8-20-10.) |
