§ 5359

Amended by Stats. 1980, Ch. 676, Sec. 336.

A conservator appointed under this chapter shall find alternative placement for his conservatee within seven days after he is notified by the person in charge of the facility serving the conservatee that the conservatee no longer needs the care or treatment offered by that facility.

If unusual conditions or circumstances preclude alternative placement of the conservatee within seven days, the conservator shall find such placement within 30 days.

If alternative placement cannot be found at the end of the 30-day period the conservator shall confer with the professional

person in charge of the facility and they shall then determine the earliest practicable date when such alternative placement may be obtained.
