If the county review board issues a detention order based on a petition that did not include a recommendation for detention by a psychiatrist or psychologist, the person shall be examined by a psychiatrist or psychologist within forty-eight hours of the issuance of the detention order, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. The results shall be reported to the county review board. If the report is not received by the county review board within forty-eight hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, the person shall be released from placement with the community service provider.

(2)Whether supports and services are available and appropriate in lieu of county review board proceedings; and
(3)Whether the person continues to pose an immediate danger of physical injury to self or others due to the developmental disability.
Upon receipt of the report by the county review board, if it is determined that the person continues to pose an immediate danger of physical injury to self or others due to the developmental disability, placement with a community service provider shall continue while the commitment process is pending. If the person does not continue to pose an immediate danger of physical injury to self or others, the person shall be released from placement with the community service provider pending further proceedings. No record of arrest may be charged against the person.
