27A-12-3.10. Application for transfer from involuntary to voluntary status. Each person under an order of involuntary commitment has the right to apply for and give consent to transfer to voluntary status. Such transfer shall be forthwith granted unless the person is unable to understand the nature of voluntary status or the transfer would not be in the best interest of the person, in which case such findings shall be entered in the person's medical record and shall be reviewed every sixty days. If transfer to voluntary status occurs, notice shall be given to the board of mental illness which initiated the commitment.
