Release from the institution is subject to annual review by the court and, except for return as ordered by the commissioner under paragraph A, subparagraph (1), must continue until terminated by the court.

SUMMARY

This bill requires that before a person who has been found not criminally responsible for the crime of murder or a Class A crime by reason of mental disease or mental defect may be released from institutional commitment, the Department of Health and Human Services must identify the level of supervision needed to ensure that the person takes any medication as prescribed and complies with any other conditions of release. The bill also requires that the court order for release direct the Department of Health and Human Services to provide the necessary level of supervision.
