1. If a respondent under this chapter is eligible for treatment by any agency of the United
States, the court, upon receipt of notice from that agency showing that facilities are
available and that the individual is eligible for care or treatment therein, may order the
respondent placed in the custody of the agency for treatment. Any individual admitted
under the order of the court to any treatment facility operated by any agency of the
United States within or without the state is subject to the rules and regulations of the
agency. The chief officer of any treatment facility operated by an agency has the same
powers as the heads of treatment facilities within this state with respect to detention,
custody, transfer, conditional release, or discharge of patients. Jurisdiction is retained
in the committing court of this state at any time to inquire into the mental condition of
an individual so transferred or placed and to determine the necessity for continuance
of treatment.
2. An order of a court of competent jurisdiction of another state or of the District of
Columbia authorizing treatment of an individual by any agency of the United States
has the same force and effect as to the individual while in this state as in the
geographical jurisdiction of the court entering the order; and the courts of the state or
district issuing the order retain jurisdiction of the individual for the purposes of inquiring
into the individual's mental condition and of determining the necessity for continuance
of treatment. Consent is hereby given to the application of the law of the state or
district in which the court issuing the order for treatment is located with respect to the
authority of the chief officer of any treatment facility operated in this state by any
agency of the United States to retain custody, transfer, conditionally release, or
discharge the individual being treated.
