Treatment orders.
If the department determines that it is necessary to continue a treatment order issued pursuant to section 812, subsection 1, paragraphs A to E, it shall petition the District Court which ordered the disposition for review of the original order. The court shall hold a hearing in accordance with section 811 and if the court finds that a public health threat would continue in the absence of a public health measure, it shall make additional orders that it deems necessary, provided that no treatment order exceeds 180 days in duration without further review by the court.

The court shall hold a hearing in accordance with section 811 and if the court finds that a public health threat would continue in the absence of a public health measure and that commitment is the least restrictive measure necessary to effectively protect the public health, it shall make such additional orders as it deems necessary, provided that no order of commitment exceeds 90 days without further review by the court.
