(a) The court shall conduct a hearing to determine if the sentence or terms of probation should be modified if the Court Support Services Division, after a report from the director of the treatment program, notifies the clerk of the court that a person being treated pursuant to section 17a-699 (1) has committed a violent act against another person at the treatment program facility or a violent act that damages property at the treatment program facility, (2) has threatened to commit such a violent act, (3) has committed a serious violation of rules of the treatment program, (4) has repeatedly committed violations of program rules that inhibit the person's ability to function in the program, (5) has continually refused to participate in the program, (6) has asked to be removed from the program, or (7) is unable to participate in the treatment program because of a medical or psychosocial condition that is not appropriately treated by the program operated by the facility. The director of the treatment program has the burden of establishing facts to support his report to the Court Support Services Division.
(b) A person who has not completed treatment may not be discharged sooner than four days after the Court Support Services Division is notified of the proposed discharge, except that if immediate discharge from treatment is necessary to protect the health or safety of persons in the program or staff of the program, the person may be discharged less than four days after notification with the agreement of the Court Support Services Division.
