3. If the committing court specifically retained jurisdiction of the child by the terms of its order committing the child to the department of mental health, notice of the discharge, accompanied by a diagnosis and recommendations for placement of the child, shall be forwarded to the court at least twenty days before such discharge date. Unless within twenty days of receipt of notice of discharge the juvenile court orders the child to be brought before it for appropriate proceedings, jurisdiction of that court over the child shall terminate at the end of such twenty days.
