CHAPTER 199
An Act to amend and reenact § 19.2-182.10 of the Code of Virginia, relating to revocation of conditional release.
[H 790]
Approved March 24, 2006

 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1.  That § 19.2-182.10 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 19.2-182.10. Release of person whose conditional release was revoked.

If an acquittee is returned to the custody of the Commissioner for inpatient treatment pursuant to revocation proceedings, and his condition improves to the degree that, within thirty 60 days of resumption of custody following the hearing, the acquittee, in the opinion of hospital staff treating the acquittee and the supervising community services board, is an appropriate candidate for conditional release, he may be, with the approval of the court, conditionally released as if revocation had not taken place. If treatment is required for longer than thirty 60 days, the acquittee shall be returned to the custody of the Commissioner for a period of hospitalization and treatment which is governed by the provisions of this chapter applicable to committed acquittees.
