1. In any proceeding under the laws of this State for involuntary court-ordered admission of a person alleged to be mentally ill or otherwise in need of confinement in a hospital or other institution for his or her care, the court may order the admission of that person to the Department of Veterans Affairs or another agency of the Federal Government, whenever:
(a) It is determined, after such adjudication of the status of that person as may be required by chapter 433A of NRS, that involuntary court-ordered admission to a hospital for mental disease or another institution is necessary for safekeeping or treatment; and
(b) It appears that the person is eligible for care or treatment by the Department of Veterans Affairs or any other agency that has facilities available and that the person is eligible for care or treatment therein.
2. The person whose involuntary court-ordered admission is sought must be personally served with notice of the pending proceeding in the manner provided by chapter 433A of NRS. This chapter does not affect that person’s right to appear and be heard in the proceedings.
