(1) If a person is certified
pursuant to this article 65 and is eligible for hospital care or treatment by an
agency of the United States, and if a certificate of notification from the agency
showing that facilities are available and that the person is eligible for care or
treatment is received, the court may order the person to be placed in the custody of
the agency for hospitalization. When any person is admitted pursuant to an order of
court to any hospital or institution operated by any agency of the United States
within or outside this state, the person is subject to the rules and regulations of the
agency. The chief officer of any hospital or institution operated by an agency in
which the person is so hospitalized shall, with respect to the person, be vested with
the same powers as the chief officer of the Colorado mental health institute at
Pueblo with respect to detention, custody, transfer, conditional release, or
discharge of patients. Jurisdiction is retained in the appropriate courts of this state
to inquire into the mental condition of a person so hospitalized and to determine the
necessity for continuance of the person's hospitalization.

(2) An order of a court of competent jurisdiction of another state, territory, or
the District of Columbia authorizing hospitalization of a person to any agency of the
United States has the same effect as to the person while in this state as in the
jurisdiction in which the court entering the order is situated; the courts of the state
or district issuing the order retain jurisdiction of the person so hospitalized for the
purpose of inquiring into the person's mental condition and for determining the
necessity for continuance of the person's hospitalization. Consent is given to the
application of the law of the state or district in which the court issuing the order for
hospitalization is located, with respect to the authority of the chief officer of any
hospital or institution operated in this state by any agency of the United States to
retain custody, transfer, conditionally release, or discharge the person hospitalized.
