(1) A community treatment plan ordered pursuant to 53-20-125 or 53-20-128 may be amended with the consensus of the respondent's individual treatment planning team, including the respondent, without further order of the court. The amended plan must meet the conditions set forth in 53-20-133(4).

(2) An order of commitment to a residential facility may be amended to an order imposing a community treatment plan with the consensus of the respondent's individual treatment planning team, including the respondent, and the court shall issue an order imposing the agreed-upon community treatment plan. The community treatment plan must meet the conditions set forth in 53-20-133(4).

(3) Any party may request amendment of a commitment ordered or a community treatment plan imposed under 53-20-125 or 53-20-128 by bringing the matter to the attention of the respondent's individual treatment planning team. If consensus is not reached, any party may request a hearing on a proposed amendment. The court shall request an evaluation of any proposed amendment by the residential facility screening team prior to the hearing.

(4) After a hearing or upon the agreement of the parties on an amendment of a commitment or an order imposing a community treatment plan, the court may make any order which is authorized in 53-20-125, including:

(a) adding, removing, or modifying conditions of a community treatment plan;

(b) substituting commitment to a residential facility for a community treatment plan; or

(c) substituting imposition of a community treatment plan for commitment to a residential facility.

(5) Any community treatment plan imposed as a result of a request for amendment must meet the conditions set forth in 53-20-133(4). The court may not impose a community treatment plan unless the residential facility screening team certifies that all services in the proposed plan meet the conditions of 53-20-133(4)(c) and (4)(d).

(6) If the court finds probable cause to believe that the respondent or others are in imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury, as defined in 45-2-101, the court may order a temporary amendment to a community treatment plan, for a period of up to 7 calendar days, without notice to the respondent. A hearing must be scheduled within the 7-day period of the temporary amendment. Any temporarily amended community treatment plan must meet the conditions set forth in 53-20-133(4). The court may not amend a community treatment plan for an extended period unless the residential facility screening team certifies that all services in the proposed amended plan meet the conditions of 53-20-133(4)(c) and (4)(d). The court may not order emergency commitment to a residential facility except through the process set forth in 53-20-129.
