(4) On its own motion or on the motion of a party, a court shall dismiss an application made under this section if the court determines that the application is frivolous or repetitive.

(b)

(1) After notice to the conditionally released person and a hearing, the court may determine that the conditionally released person has violated a condition of release or that for the safety of the conditionally released person or for the safety of the person or property of another person the conditional release should be modified, extended for a period specified by the court not to exceed five (5) years, or revoked.

(2)

(A) If an order is entered revoking the most recent order of conditional release under subdivision (b)(1) of this section, all conditions of the release shall be abated, and the person shall be ordered to be committed to the custody of the director or the director's designee.
