2021 Nevada Revised Statutes|Chapter 432B - Protection of Children From Abuse and Neglect|NRS 432B.6083 - Conditional release: No liability of State; notice to court and attorney of agency; order to return to facility; judicial review of order to return to facility.

  1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, any child who is admitted to a facility by a court pursuant to NRS 432B.6076 may be conditionally released from the facility when, in the judgment of the medical director of the facility, the conditional release is in the best interest of the child and will not be detrimental to the public welfare. The medical director of the facility or the designee of the medical director shall prescribe the period for which the conditional release is effective. The period must not extend beyond the last day of the court-ordered period of treatment specified pursuant to NRS 432B.608.  2. When a child is conditionally released pursuant to subsection 1, the State or a county, or any of its agents or employees, is not liable for any debts or contractual obligations, medical or otherwise, incurred or damages caused by the actions of the child.  3. A child who was admitted by a court because the child was likely to harm others if allowed to remain at liberty may be conditionally released only if, at the time of the release, written notice is given to the court which admitted the child and to the attorney of the agency which provides child welfare services that initiated the proceedings for admission.  4. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, the administrative officer of a facility or the designee of the administrative officer shall order a child who is conditionally released from that facility pursuant to this section to return to the facility if a psychiatrist and a member of that child’s treatment team who is professionally qualified in the field of psychiatric mental health determine that the conditional release is no longer appropriate because that child presents a clear and present danger of harm to himself or herself or others. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the administrative officer or the designee of the administrative officer shall, at least 3 days before the issuance of the order to return, give written notice of the order to the court that admitted the child to the facility. If an emergency exists in which the child presents an imminent threat of danger of harm to himself or herself or others, the order must be submitted to the court not later than 1 business day after the order is issued.  5. The court shall review an order submitted pursuant to subsection 4 and the current condition of the child who was ordered to return to the facility at its next regularly scheduled hearing for the review of petitions for court-ordered admissions, but in no event later than 5 judicial days after the child is returned to the facility. The administrative officer or the designee of the administrative officer shall give written notice to the agency which provides child welfare services, to the child who was ordered to return to the facility and to the child’s attorney of the time, date and place of the hearing and of the facts necessitating that child’s return to the facility.  6. The provisions of subsection 4 do not apply if the period of conditional release has expired.  (Added to NRS by 2005, 1321)
