Stat. § 334-60.6","heading":"Period of detention.","body":"The psychiatric facility may detain a subject for a period of time ordered by the court not to exceed ninety days from date of admission unless sooner discharged by the facility pursuant to section 334-76 or section 334-74. At the end of the ninety-day period the subject shall be discharged automatically except as provided in sections 704-406, 704-411, and 706-607, unless before expiration of the period and by a proceeding initiated pursuant to section 334-60.3 the facility obtains a court order for the subject's recommitment. Recommitment for a period not to exceed ninety days may not be ordered unless the court determines that the criteria for involuntary hospitalization set forth in section 334-60.2 continue to exist. If at the end of a recommitment period the court finds that the criteria for involuntary hospitalization set forth in section 334-60.2 continue to exist and are likely to continue beyond ninety days, the court may order recommitment for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty days.\n\nNothing in this section shall preclude a facility from accepting for voluntary inpatient treatment, in accordance with the procedures in section 334-60.1, a patient, for whom the facility contemplates discharge pursuant to section 334-60.7 and who voluntarily agrees to further hospitalization after the period of commitment has expired, or where the patient is no longer a proper subject for commitment.","path":["HI Code","Division 1","Title 19","Chapter 334"],"source_url":"http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/hrscurrent/Vol06_Ch0321-0344/HRS0334/HRS_0334-0060_0006.htm","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:11Z","sha256":"7a145a2a49434e774e16206cb75c93c5842dfe0ba442eaf03fa041e9702204f9","source_id":"us-hi","stale":false,"prev":"us-hi/haw.-rev.-stat.-334-60.5","next":"us-hi/haw.-rev.-stat.-334-60.7"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
