The court which orders any person to an ICF/ID under the provisions of this
chapter, shall at once notify the cabinet that the order has been made, advising
of the sex and condition of the person.
The ICF/ID may refuse to receive any person who has been ordered to be
involuntarily admitted by a court order if appropriate programs and space are
not available or the papers presented with the person at the ICF/ID do not
comply with the provisions of this chapter or if it does not receive notification of
the order of involuntary admission as required by this chapter.
After the cabinet has been so notified, the court may order the sheriff of the
county to transport the person from the county in which the person is located to
the ICF/ID designated by the cabinet. The actual traveling expenses of persons
transporting the person to the institution shall be paid by the cabinet. Each
female admitted to an ICF/ID shall be accompanied by a female attendant,
unless accompanied by her mother, father, sister, brother, husband, daughter,
or son.
In returning any person to the county from which that person is sent, the cost of
returning the person shall be paid in the same manner, when necessary.
If a person is involuntarily admitted by a court order, the person shall be
transported to the ICF/ID designated by the cabinet and accompanied by the
following documents:
(a) A copy of the petition for involuntary admission;
(b) The certificate of qualified professionals in the area of intellectual
disabilities;
(c) A current physical examination that documents no serious medical
issues;
