| 3 |
| examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner | 4 |
| or
psychiatrist may interview by telephone or in person any | 5 |
| witnesses or other
persons listed in the petition for | 6 |
| involuntary admission. If, as a
result of an examination, a | 7 |
| certificate is executed, the certificate shall
be promptly | 8 |
| filed with the court. If a certificate is executed, the
| 9 |
| examining physician, clinical psychologist, qualified examiner | 10 |
| or
psychiatrist may also submit for filing with the court a | 11 |
| report in which
his findings are described in detail, and may | 12 |
| rely upon such findings for
his opinion that the respondent is | 13 |
| subject to involuntary admission.
Copies of the certificates | 14 |
| shall be made available to the attorneys for the
parties upon | 15 |
| request prior to the hearing. A certificate prepared in | 16 |
| compliance with this Article shall state whether or not the | 17 |
| respondent is in need of immediate hospitalization. However, if | 18 |
| both of the certificates state that the respondent is not in | 19 |
| need of immediate hospitalization, the respondent may remain in | 20 |
| his or her place of residence absent imminent danger pending a | 21 |
| hearing on the petition unless he or she voluntarily agrees to | 22 |
| inpatient treatment.
| 23 |
| Notwithstanding any other rulemaking authority that may | 24 |
| exist, neither the Governor nor any agency or agency head under | 25 |
| the jurisdiction of the Governor has any authority to make or | 26 |

misleading. If the request is refused, | 5 |
| the person may seek a court order
to compel modification.
| 6 |
| (d) Whenever access or modification is requested, the | 7 |
| request and any
action taken thereon shall be noted in the | 8 |
