HRS §334-132

What happens when someone objects to ending assisted treatment

If a person who was told about the treatment order files a written objection, the family court holds a hearing to check if the person still needs assisted community treatment. If they do, treatment continues until the original order ends. If not, the court dismisses the objection and discharges the person early.
