230.7 - TRANSFER OF NONRESIDENTS.
230.7 TRANSFER OF NONRESIDENTS.
Upon determining that a patient in a state hospital who has been
involuntarily hospitalized under chapter 229 or admitted voluntarily
at public expense was not a resident of this state at the time of the
involuntary hospitalization or admission, the administrator may cause
that patient to be conveyed to the patient's place of residence.
However, a transfer under this section may be made only if the
patient's condition so permits and other reasons do not render the
transfer inadvisable. If the patient was involuntarily hospitalized,
prior approval of the transfer must be obtained from the court which
ordered the patient hospitalized. Section History: Early Form
