before further change. This petition must be forwarded to the |
| court no later than 60 days prior to the beginning of the |
| modified treatment program. If the court considers that the |
| individual being off the grounds, as described in the treatment |
| plan, is inappropriate, it shall notify the hospital that the |
| plan is not approved and shall schedule a hearing on the matter. |
| The clerk of courts upon receipt of the proposed treatment |
| program shall give notice of the receipt of this program by |
| mailing a copy to the office of the district attorney that |
| prosecuted the criminal charges of which the person was |
acquitted by reason of insanity |
| the offices of the district attorneys in whose district the |
| release petition was filed or in whose district release may |
| occur and the Attorney General who may file objections and |
| request a hearing on the matter. Representatives of the |
| Attorney General and the office that prosecuted the person may |
| appear at any hearing on the matter. At the hearing, the court |
| shall receive the testimony of a member of the State Forensic |
| Service who has examined the person, any independent |
| psychiatrist or licensed clinical psychologist who is employed |
by the prosecuter |
| other relevant testimony. If the court does not respond within |
| 60 days to the proposed treatment plan and no objections and |
| request for hearing are filed by the district attorney or |
| Attorney General, it may then be put into effect by the |
| administrator of the hospital on the assumption that the court |
| approved the treatment plan. The Commissioner of Behavioral and |
| Developmental Services shall inform the public safety officer of |
| the municipality or the sheriff's office of the county in which |
| the person will spend any unsupervised time under the release |
| treatment program of that program. |
