Section 1608 Of Title 15. Outpatient Status For Mentally Disordered And Developmentally Disabled Offenders From California Penal Code >> Title 15. >> Part 2.
1608
. If at any time during the outpatient period, the outpatient
treatment supervisor is of the opinion that the person requires
extended inpatient treatment or refuses to accept further outpatient
treatment and supervision, the community program director shall
notify the superior court in either the county which approved
outpatient status or in the county where outpatient treatment is
being provided of such opinion by means of a written request for
revocation of outpatient status. The community program director shall
furnish a copy of this request to the defense counsel and to the
prosecutor in both counties if the request is made in the county of
treatment rather than the county of commitment.
Within 15 judicial days, the court where the request was filed
shall hold a hearing and shall either approve or disapprove the
request for revocation of outpatient status. If the court approves
the request for revocation, the court shall order that the person be
confined in a state hospital or other treatment facility approved by
the community program director. The court shall transmit a copy of
its order to the community program director or a designee. Where the
county of treatment and the county of commitment differ and
revocation occurs in the county of treatment, the court shall enter
the name of the committing county and its case number on the order of
revocation and shall send a copy of the order to the committing
court and the prosecutor and defense counsel in the county of
commitment.
