4064     commitment proceeding, in accordance with the requirements of this section.
4065          (ii) When a decision for commitment is made, the neutral and detached fact finder shall

4083          (8) The cost of caring for and maintaining a child in the physical custody of a local
4084     mental health authority shall be assessed to and paid by the child's parents, according to their
4085     ability to pay. For purposes of this section, the Division of Child and Family Services or the
4086     Division of Juvenile Justice Services shall be financially responsible, in addition to the child's
4087     parents, if the child is in the legal custody of either of those divisions at the time the child is

4089     Medicaid regulation or contract provisions specify otherwise. The Office of Recovery Services

4090     shall assist those divisions in collecting the costs assessed pursuant to this section.
4091          (9) Whenever application is made for commitment of a minor to a local mental health
4092     authority under any provision of this section by a person other than the child's parent or
4093     guardian, the local mental health authority or its designee shall notify the child's parent or
4094     guardian. The parents shall be provided sufficient time to prepare and appear at any scheduled
4095     proceeding.
4096          (10) (a) Each child committed pursuant to this section is entitled to an appeal within 30
4097     days after any order for commitment. The appeal may be brought on the child's own petition,
4098     or that of his parent or legal guardian, to the juvenile court in the district where the child
4099     resides or is currently physically located. With regard to a child in the custody of the Division
4100     of Child and Family Services or the Division of Juvenile Justice Services, the attorney general's
4101     office shall handle the appeal, otherwise the appropriate county attorney's office is responsible
4102     for appeals brought pursuant to this Subsection (10)(a).
4103          (b) Upon receipt of the petition for appeal, the court shall appoint a designated
4104     examiner previously unrelated to the case, to conduct an examination of the child in accordance
4105     with the criteria described in Subsection (4), and file a written report with the court. The court
4106     shall then conduct an appeal hearing to determine whether the findings described in Subsection
4107     (4) exist by clear and convincing evidence.
4108          (c) Prior to the time of the appeal hearing, the appropriate local mental health authority,
4109     its designee, or the mental health professional who has been in charge of the child's care prior
4110     to commitment, shall provide the court and the designated examiner for the appeal hearing with
4111     the following information, as it relates to the period of current admission:
4112          (i) the original petition for commitment;
4113          (ii) admission notes;
4114          (iii) diagnosis;
4115          (iv) physicians' orders;
4116          (v) progress notes;
4117          (vi) nursing notes; and

4118          (vii) medication records.
4119          (d) Both the neutral and detached fact finder and the designated examiner appointed for
4120     the appeal hearing shall be provided with an opportunity to review the most current
4121     information described in Subsection (10)(c) prior to the appeal hearing.
4122          (e) The child, his parent or legal guardian, the person who submitted the original
4123     petition for commitment, and a representative of the appropriate local mental health authority
4124     shall be notified by the court of the date and time of the appeal hearing. Those persons shall be
4125     afforded an opportunity to appear at the hearing. In reaching its decision, the court shall review
4126     the record and findings of the neutral and detached fact finder, the report of the designated
4127     examiner appointed pursuant to Subsection (10)(b), and may, in its discretion, allow or require
4128     the testimony of the neutral and detached fact finder, the designated examiner, the child, the
4129     child's parent or legal guardian, the person who brought the initial petition for commitment, or
4130     any other person whose testimony the court deems relevant. The court may allow the child to
4131     waive his right to appear at the appeal hearing, for good cause shown. If that waiver is granted,
4132     the purpose shall be made a part of the court's record.
4133          (11) Each local mental health authority has an affirmative duty to conduct periodic
4134     evaluations of the mental health and treatment progress of every child committed to its physical
4135     custody under this section, and to release any child who has sufficiently improved so that the
4136     criteria justifying commitment no longer exist.
4137          (12) (a) A local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's
4138     current treating mental health professional may release an improved child to a less restrictive
4139     environment, as they determine appropriate. Whenever the local mental health authority or its
4140     designee, and the child's current treating mental health professional, determine that the
4141     conditions justifying commitment no longer exist, the child shall be discharged and released to
4142     his parent or legal guardian. With regard to a child who is in the physical custody of the State
4143     Hospital, the treating psychiatrist or clinical director of the State Hospital shall be the child's
4144     current treating mental health professional.
4145          (b) A local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's

4146     current treating mental health professional, is authorized to issue a written order for the
4147     immediate placement of a child not previously released from an order of commitment into a
4148     more restrictive environment, if the local authority or its designee and the child's current
4149     treating mental health professional has reason to believe that the less restrictive environment in
4150     which the child has been placed is exacerbating his mental illness, or increasing the risk of
4151     harm to himself or others.
4152          (c) The written order described in Subsection (12)(b) shall include the reasons for
4153     placement in a more restrictive environment and shall authorize any peace officer to take the
4154     child into physical custody and transport him to a facility designated by the appropriate local
4155     mental health authority in conjunction with the child's current treating mental health
4156     professional. Prior to admission to the more restrictive environment, copies of the order shall
4157     be personally delivered to the child, his parent or legal guardian, the administrator of the more
4158     restrictive environment, or his designee, and the child's former treatment provider or facility.
4159          (d) If the child has been in a less restrictive environment for more than 30 days and is
4160     aggrieved by the change to a more restrictive environment, the child or his representative may
4161     request a review within 30 days of the change, by a neutral and detached fact finder as
4162     described in Subsection (3). The fact finder shall determine whether:
4163          (i) the less restrictive environment in which the child has been placed is exacerbating
4164     his mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others; or
4165          (ii) the less restrictive environment in which the child has been placed is not
4166     exacerbating his mental illness, or increasing the risk of harm to himself or others, in which
4167     case the fact finder shall designate that the child remain in the less restrictive environment.
4168          (e) Nothing in this section prevents a local mental health authority or its designee, in
4169     conjunction with the child's current mental health professional, from discharging a child from
4170     commitment or from placing a child in an environment that is less restrictive than that
4171     designated by the neutral and detached fact finder.
4172          (13) Each local mental health authority or its designee, in conjunction with the child's
4173     current treating mental health professional shall discharge any child who, in the opinion of that

4174     local authority, or its designee, and the child's current treating mental health professional, no
4175     longer meets the criteria specified in Subsection (4), except as provided by Section 78A-6-120.
4176     The local authority and the mental health professional shall assure that any further supportive
4177     services required to meet the child's needs upon release will be provided.
4178          (14) Even though a child has been committed to the physical custody of a local mental
4179     health authority pursuant to this section, the child is still entitled to additional due process
4180     proceedings, in accordance with Section 62A-15-704, before any treatment which may affect a
4181     constitutionally protected liberty or privacy interest is administered. Those treatments include,
4182     but are not limited to, antipsychotic medication, electroshock therapy, and psychosurgery.
