. The local health officer may detain in a hospital or other
appropriate place for examination or treatment, a person who is the
subject of an order of detention issued pursuant to subdivision (a),
(d), or (e) of Section 121365 without a prior court order except that
when a person detained pursuant to subdivision (a), (d), or (e) of
Section 121365 has requested release, the local health officer shall
make an application for a court order authorizing the continued
detention within 72 hours after the request or, if the 72-hour period
ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, by the end of the
first business day following the Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday,
which application shall include a request for an expedited hearing.
After the request for release, detention shall not continue for more
than five business days in the absence of a court order authorizing
detention. However, in no event shall any person be detained for more
than 60 days without a court order authorizing the detention. The
local health officer shall seek further court review of the detention
within 90 days following the initial court order authorizing
detention and thereafter within 90 days of each subsequent court
review. In any court proceeding to enforce a local health officer's
order for the removal or detention of a person, the local health
officer shall prove the particularized circumstances constituting the
necessity for the detention by clear and convincing evidence. Any
person who is subject to a detention order shall have the right to be
represented by counsel and upon the request of the person, counsel
shall be provided.
