Rule 5.744A - Proceedings Regarding an Individual Subject to Judicial Admission who is Transferred to a Center from Alternative Setting(A) Applicability. This rule applies to an individual with mental retardation under court order to undergo a program of care and treatment as an alternative to admission to a center.(B) Immediate Transfer. After the court receives written notification concerning the need to transfer a judicially admitted individual receiving alternative care and treatment, the court may direct the filing of additional information and may do one of the following:(1) modify its original order and direct the individual's transfer to another program of alternative care and treatment for the remainder of the 1-year period;(2) enter a new order directing the individual's admission to either (a) a center recommended by the community mental health services program; or(b) a licensed hospital requested by the individual or the individual's family if private funds are to be used; or(3) set a date for a hearing.(C) Investigation Report. On receipt of notification, the court must promptly obtain from the community mental health services program or other appropriate agency a report stating(1) the reason for concern about the adequacy of the care and treatment being received at the time of the notification;(2) the continued suitability of that care and treatment; and(3) the adequacy of care and treatment available at another alternative or at a center or licensed hospital.(D) Service of Papers. If the court enters a new order without a hearing, it must serve the interested parties with a copy of that order and a copy of the investigation report when it becomes available. If the order includes transfer of the individual to a center, the court must also serve the interested parties with written notification of the individual's right to object and demand a hearing.(E) Hearing. If within 7 days of service under subrule (D) the court receives a written objection from the individual or the individual's attorney, guardian, or presumptive heir, the court must schedule a hearing to be held within 10 days of the court's receipt of the objection.(F) Conduct of Hearing. A hearing convened under this rule is without a jury. At the hearing, the person seeking transfer of the individual to a center must present evidence that the individual had not complied with the applicable order or that the order is not sufficient to prevent the individual from inflicting harm or injuries on himself, herself or others. The evidence must support a finding that transfer to another alternative, a center or a licensed hospital is necessary.(G) Order After Hearing. The court may affirm or rescind the order issued under subrule (B), order a new program of care and treatment, or order discharge. The court may not place the individual in a center without inquiring into the adequacy of care and treatment for that individual at that center.
