1. The medical director of a division mental health facility shall have all persons adjudicated incapacitated of that facility automatically evaluated no less than once every 6 months to determine whether or not there is sufficient cause to believe that the consumer remains unable to exercise rights to dispose of property, marry, execute instruments, make purchases, enter into contractual relationships, vote or hold a driver’s license.

2. If the medical director has sufficient reason to believe that the consumer remains unable to exercise these rights, such information shall be documented in the consumer’s treatment record.

3. If there is no such reason to believe the consumer is unable to exercise these rights, the medical director shall immediately initiate proper action to cause to have the consumer restored to legal capacity.
