§ 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 the Commissioner considers reasonable, including requirements for periodic examinations. Any person so managed who leaves the place of management without permission, or who fails to return to the place of management 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 immediately return the person to the place of management. (Added 1967, No. 49, § 5; amended 1973, No. 89, § 7; 2023, No. 6, § 112, eff. July 1, 2023.)
