In re Commitment of Hans T.

Hospital staff filed petition for involuntary outpatient admission. Court entered order subjecting Respondent, age 33, to involuntary admission on an outpatient basis, under which he was required to reside in a locked unit of a nursing home for 180 days. This order was essentially for involuntary admission on an inpatient basis, without the statutory procedures and findings necessary to impose such an order (which are more strict than those for involuntary admission on an outpatient basis), and for twice the time permitted for an initial involuntary inpatient admission. Order violated Mental Health Code. (HUTCHINSON and HUDSON, concurring.)
