The rights may be modified only with the informed consent of the person receiving services or the person's legally authorized representative and with subsequent review by the person receiving services, the person's legally authorized representative, the person's interdisciplinary team, and by the human rights committee in order to provide specific services or supports to the person receiving services, which will promote the least restriction on the person's rights. The person's legal rights may be removed by a court pursuant to section 25.5-10-216.
