(a) Any person who has been adjudicated to be a person under
legal disability in any proceedings under any prior mental health statute of
this State or any person on his behalf may file at any time a petition for
modification of the guardianship order of the court or for restoration to legal
status without disability. The petition may be filed in the court which

a notice of discharge issued pursuant to this Chapter. The certificate shall
indicate the extent to which the recipient is capable of managing his person

a physician, qualified examiner, or clinical psychologist to examine the
recipient and prepare a certificate regarding his status without disability.
(b) The procedures for conduct of hearings set forth in Article VIII of
this Chapter apply to hearings held under this Section.
