The administrator may transfer patients from one state resource
center to the other and may at any time transfer patients from the
resource centers to the hospitals for persons with mental illness, or
transfer patients in the resource centers to a special unit or vice
versa. The administrator may also transfer patients from a hospital
for persons with mental illness to a resource center if:
1. In the case of a patient who entered the hospital for persons
with mental illness voluntarily, consent is given in advance by the
patient or, if the patient is a minor or is incompetent, the person
responsible for the patient.
2. In the case of a patient hospitalized pursuant to sections
229.6 to 229.15, the consent of the court which hospitalized the
patient is obtained in advance, rather than afterward as otherwise
