Sec. 475.
(1) During the period of an order for assisted outpatient treatment or combined hospitalization and assisted outpatient treatment, if the agency or mental health professional who is supervising an individual's assisted outpatient treatment program determines that the individual is not complying with the court order or that the assisted outpatient treatment has not been or will not be sufficient to prevent harm that the individual may inflict on himself or herself or upon others, then the supervising agency or mental health professional shall notify the court immediately. If the individual believes that the assisted outpatient treatment program is not appropriate, the individual may notify the court of that fact.
(2) If it comes to the attention of the court that an individual subject to an order of assisted outpatient treatment or combined hospitalization and assisted outpatient treatment is not complying with the order, that the assisted outpatient treatment has not been or will not be sufficient to prevent harm to the individual or to others, or that the individual believes that the assisted outpatient treatment program is not appropriate, the court may do either of the following without a hearing and based upon the record and other available information:
(a) Consider other alternatives to hospitalization and modify the order to direct the individual to undergo another program of assisted outpatient treatment for the duration of the order.
(b) Modify the order to direct the individual to undergo hospitalization or combined hospitalization and assisted outpatient treatment. The duration of the hospitalization, including the number of days the individual has already been hospitalized if the order being modified is a combined order, shall not exceed 60 days for an initial order or 90 days for a second or continuing order. The modified order may provide that if the individual refuses to comply with the psychiatrist's order to return to the hospital, a peace officer shall take the individual into protective custody and transport the individual to the hospital selected.
(3) During the period of an order for assisted outpatient treatment or a combination of hospitalization and assisted outpatient treatment, if the agency or mental health professional who is supervising an individual's assisted outpatient treatment determines that the individual is not complying with the court order, the supervising agency or mental health professional shall notify the court immediately.
(4) If it comes to the attention of the court that an individual subject to an order of assisted outpatient treatment or a combination of hospitalization and assisted outpatient treatment is not complying with the order, the court may require 1 or more of the following, without a hearing:
(a) That the individual be taken to the preadmission screening unit established by the community mental health services program serving the community in which the individual resides.
(b) That the individual be hospitalized for a period of not more than 10 days.
(c) Upon recommendation by the community mental health services program serving the community in which the individual resides, that the individual be hospitalized for a period of more than 10 days, but not longer than the duration of the order for assisted outpatient treatment or a combination of hospitalization and assisted outpatient treatment, or not longer than 90 days, whichever is less.
(5) The court may direct peace officers to transport the individual to a designated facility or a preadmission screening unit, as applicable, and the court may specify conditions under which the individual may return to assisted outpatient treatment before the order expires.
(6) An individual hospitalized without a hearing as provided in subsection (4) may object to the hospitalization according to the provisions of section 475a.
