    66-319.  RELEASE OF VOLUNTARY INPATIENTS. The director of an inpatient
facility shall release any person, admitted in accordance with the procedure
outlined in section 66-318, Idaho Code, whose continued care or treatment is
no longer appropriate. If upon evaluation at the facility, it is determined
that the patient is mentally ill and is likely to injure himself or others or
is gravely disabled, the director of the facility shall institute appropriate
judicial proceedings for continued care and treatment. In the case of persons
confined pursuant to section 20-520 or 18-211, Idaho Code, upon completion of
the examination, the sheriff of the county from which the defendant was
committed shall be notified and the defendant  shall continue to be confined
at the facility for transportation back to the county. In those cases of
persons admitted upon the application of a guardian, those persons shall be
released upon the termination of the guardian's authority to consent to
treatment.
