12.1-04.1-21. Proceeding following verdict or finding
After entry of a verdict, finding, or an unresisted plea, that an individual committed the crime
charged, but is not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility, the court shall:
1.
Make a finding, based upon the verdict or finding provided in section 12.1-04.1-18, of
the expiration date of the court's jurisdiction; and
2.
Order the individual committed to a treatment facility, as defined under chapter
25-03.1, for examination. The superintendent or the director of a treatment facility may
petition the court to transfer or assign the individual committed if, in the
superintendent's or director's opinion, it would be more appropriate for the individual
committed to receive the examination in or by a least restrictive setting if the attending
physician or director of the least restrictive setting consents. The order of the court
may set terms of custody during the period of examination.
