Sec. 406.
If an individual asserted to be a person requiring treatment is considered by a hospital to be suitable for informal or formal voluntary hospitalization, the hospital shall offer the individual the opportunity to request or make application for hospitalization as an informal or formal voluntary patient. If the individual is voluntarily hospitalized, the hospital director shall inform the court, and the court shall dismiss any pending proceeding for admission unless it finds that dismissal would not be in the best interest of the individual or the public.
