§299.410. Conditional Release

An order for conditional release places the committed person in the custody and control of the Department, and the person is subject to the conditions set by the court and the rules of the Department.  Upon the recommendation of the resident's evaluator or the facility's Clinical Director, the Program Director may file a petition for conditional release on behalf of the resident.  The recommendation may be based upon changes in the mental and/or physical condition of the resident, including, but not limited to, changes in the health needs of the resident.  Regardless of such recommendation and/or filing, the Department shall, at all times, follow the court's orders regarding the need for secure care.
