SB250: Conditional release; extends custody period following revocation thereof before treatment.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 19.2-182.10 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 19.2-182.10. Release of person whose conditional release was revoked.
If an acquittee is returned to the custody of the Commissioner
for inpatient treatment pursuant to revocation proceedings, and his condition
improves to the degree that, within thirty60
days of resumption of custody following the hearing, the acquittee, in the
opinion of hospital staff treating the acquittee and the supervising community
services board, is an appropriate candidate for conditional release, he may be,
with the approval of the court, conditionally released as if revocation had not
taken place. If treatment is required for longer than thirty60
days, the acquittee shall be returned to the custody of the Commissioner for a
period of hospitalization and treatment which is governed by the provisions of
this chapter applicable to committed acquittees.
