. (a) If the proposed organic therapy is not prohibited by
subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 2670.5, then in order to administer
the therapy the warden of the institution in which the person is
confined shall petition the superior court of the county in which the
person is confined for an order authorizing such organic therapy.
(b) The petition shall summarize the facts which the attending
physician is required to communicate to the person pursuant to
Section 2673, and shall state whether the person has the capacity for
informed consent, and, if so, whether the person has given his or
her informed consent to the proposed therapy. The petition shall
clearly specify what organic therapy the institution proposes to
administer to the person. The petition shall specify what mental
illness, disorder, abnormality, or defect justifies the
administration of such therapy. Copies of the petition shall be
personally served upon the person and served upon his or her
attorney, guardian or conservator on the same day as it is filed with
the clerk of the superior court.
(c) The person confined, or his or her attorney, guardian, or
conservator may file a response to the petition for organic therapy.
The response shall be filed no later than 10 days after service of
the petition unless the court grants a continuance not to exceed 10
additional days, and shall be served on the warden on the same day it
is filed.
