(2)(b) The notice described in Subsection (2)(a) shall advise these persons that a hearing may be held within the time provided by this part.
(2)(c) If the individual has refused to permit release of information necessary for the provision of notice under this Subsection (2), the extent of notice shall be determined by the court.
(2)(d) Notwithstanding the notice requirement in Subsection (2)(a), if the court determines that written notice to each individual in a group of individuals subject to an order of restriction is not practical considering the circumstances of the threat to public health, the court may order the department to provide notice to the individual or group of individuals in a manner determined by the court.
(3) (3)(a) If the individual who is subject to an order of restriction is in custody, he shall be afforded an opportunity to be represented by counsel.

(3)(d) The court may order that the individual participate in the hearing by telephonic or other electronic means if the individual's condition poses a health threat to those who physically attend the hearing or to others if the individual is transported to the court.
(4) The court may, in its discretion, order that the individual be moved to a more appropriate treatment, quarantine, or isolation facility outside of its jurisdiction, and may transfer the proceedings to any other court within this state where venue is proper, provided that the transfer will not be adverse to the legal interests of the individual.
(5) All persons to whom notice is required to be given may attend the hearings. The court may exclude from the hearing all persons not necessary for the conduct of the proceedings.
(6) All hearings shall be conducted in as informal a manner as may be consistent with orderly procedure, and in a physical setting that is not likely to have a harmful effect on the health of the individual or others required to participate in the hearing.
(7) The court shall receive all relevant and material evidence which is offered, subject to Utah Rules of Evidence.
(8) The court may order law enforcement to assist the petitioner in locating the individuals subject to restriction and enforcing the order of restriction.
