§ 1059 - Leaving compulsory medical management
§ 1059. Leaving compulsory medical management
A person who is managed by order of the court shall not leave the place of compulsory medical management without the permission in writing of the court or the commissioner of health. That permission may constitute a final discharge or be for a specified period of time. In either case the commissioner of health may impose such conditions as he considers reasonable including, but not limited to, requirements for periodic examinations. Any person so managed who leaves the place of management without permission, or who fails to return thereto within the time prescribed, may be returned to the place of management without further court order and the commissioner of health may direct any officer specified in section 1058 of this title, in writing, to apprehend the person and to return him forthwith to the place of management. (1967, No. 49, § 5; amended 1973, No. 89, § 7.)
