(a) Any conditionally released acquittee or any person or agency responsible for the supervision or treatment of a conditionally released acquittee may apply to the board for the modification of the order of the conditional release of the acquittee. Any application for modification filed by a person or agency responsible for the supervision or treatment of a conditionally released acquittee shall be accompanied by a report setting forth the facts supporting the application. The board shall commence a hearing within sixty days of its receipt of the application. Not less than thirty days prior to such hearing, the board shall send copies of such application and report, if any, to the state's attorney and counsel for the acquittee. At the hearing, the board shall make a finding and act pursuant to section 17a-584.
(b) Unless the conditional release order has been summarily modified by the board or its chairman pursuant to subsection (a) of section 17a-594, an application by an acquittee for modification of a conditional release order shall not be filed more often than once every six months from the date of the filing of the next preceding application for modification.
