(a)  When, from personal observation of a law
enforcement officer, it appears probable that an adult will
suffer immediate and serious physical injury or death if not
immediately placed in a health care facility, that the adult
is incapable of giving consent, and that it is not possible
to follow the procedures of this section, the officer may
transport the person to an appropriate medical facility
which shall immediately notify the next of kin and the
director. This medical care may not be rendered in a State
mental hospital other than, in an appropriate case, the
Walter P. Carter Community Mental Health and Retardation
Center and the Highland Health Facility unless authorized by
the courts in a civil commitment proceeding. The director
shall file a petition pursuant to subsection (b) below
within 24 hours after the transfer of the person has taken
place. The court shall hold a hearing on the petition and
render its decision within 48 hours after the transfer has
occurred.

(b)  Upon petition by an interested person, a court may
issue an order authorizing the provision of protective
services on an emergency basis to an adult after finding on
the record, based on clear and convincing evidence, that:

(1)  For the purpose of this section the person
lacks capacity under the standards enumerated in § 13-705
(b);

(2)  An emergency exists, as defined in § 13-101;
and

(3)  No person authorized by law or court order
to give consent for the person is available to consent to
emergency services.
