institution other than the penitentiary or reformatory, any person 18

asserting that the person named in the petition has become subject to involuntary
admission under the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code since
his commitment. The petition shall be accompanied
by the certificate of a qualified examiner, psychiatrist, clinical psychologist
or physician stating in reasonable detail the basis
for the conclusion of said certificate that the person whose
hospitalization is desired is subject to involuntary admission as that term
is defined in Section 1-119 of the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.
The petitioner shall provide the State's Attorney and the person

The court shall set a date for a hearing on the petition within
5 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, after the filing of the

Code", as now and hereafter amended. If the jury by its verdict, or the
court if no jury is requested, finds that the named person is not subject
to involuntary admission, he shall be returned to the institution to which
he was sentenced and committed. If the jury by its verdict, or the court
if no jury is requested, finds that
the named person is subject to involuntary admission, the court shall commit
him to the Department of Human Services.
If the named person is deemed no longer subject to involuntary admission
and the time for which he was sentenced has not expired, he shall be returned
by the Department of Human Services to the penal or correctional institution from which he was
committed to finish his
original sentence. If the time has expired, he shall be discharged in
accordance
with Article IX of Chapter III of the "Mental Health
