Once a court has assumed jurisdiction with respect to involuntary detention proceedings, no other court shall assume jurisdiction until the court having prior jurisdiction has transferred jurisdiction and all papers, files, and transcripts. If the court having jurisdiction receives notice that a respondent has been transferred to a mental health program in another county, the court shall transfer jurisdiction, along with all papers, files and transcripts, to the court in the county where the respondent has been transferred.
