        (10) any family participation or involvement expected

        (11) the defendant's potential to be a danger to 
5
    himself, herself, or

8
    (h) Before the court orders that the defendant be 
9
discharged or
conditionally released, it shall order the 
10
facility director to establish a
discharge plan that includes a 
11
plan for the defendant's shelter, support, and
medication.  If 
12
appropriate, the court shall order that the facility director

13
establish a program to train the defendant in self-medication 
14
under standards
established by the Department of Human 
15
Services.
If the Court finds, consistent with the provisions of 
16
this Section,
that the defendant is no longer in need of mental

17
health services it shall order the facility director to 
18
discharge the
defendant.  If the Court finds, consistent with 
19
the provisions of this
Section, that the defendant is in need 
20
of mental
health services, and no longer in need of inpatient 
21
care, it shall order
the facility director to release the 
22
defendant under such conditions as the
Court deems appropriate 
23
and as provided by this Section. Such conditional
release shall 
24
be imposed for a period of 5 years as provided in
paragraph (1)

25
(D) of subsection (a-1)
(a) and shall be
subject
to later 
26
modification by the Court as provided by this Section. If the

1
Court finds consistent with the provisions in this Section that 
2
the
defendant is in
need of mental health services on an 
3
inpatient basis, it shall order the
facility director not to 
4
discharge or release the defendant in accordance
with paragraph 
5
(b) of this Section.

6
    (i) If within the period of the defendant's conditional 
7
release
the State's Attorney determines that the defendant has 
8
not fulfilled the
conditions of his or her release, the State's 
9
Attorney may petition the
Court
to
revoke or modify the 
10
conditional release of the defendant.  Upon the filing of
such 
11
petition the defendant may be remanded to the custody of the 
12
Department,
or to any other mental health facility designated 
13
by the Department, pending
the resolution of the petition.  
14
Nothing in this Section shall prevent the
emergency admission 
15
of a defendant pursuant to Article VI of Chapter III of the

16
Mental Health
and Developmental Disabilities Code or the 
17
voluntary admission of the defendant
pursuant to Article IV of 
18
Chapter III of the Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities

19
Code. If
the Court determines, after hearing evidence, that the 
20
defendant has
not fulfilled the conditions of release, the 
21
Court shall order a hearing
to be held consistent with the 
22
provisions of paragraph (f) and (g) of this
Section. At such 
23
hearing, if the Court finds that the defendant is in need of 
24
mental health services on an inpatient
basis, it shall enter an 
25
order remanding him or her to the Department of
Human Services 
26
or other
facility. If the defendant is remanded to the

1
Department of Human Services, he
or she shall be placed in
a 
2
secure setting unless the Court
determines that there are 
3
compelling reasons that such placement is not
necessary. If the

4
Court finds that the defendant  continues to be in need of 
5
mental health
services but not on an inpatient basis, it may 
6
modify the conditions of
the original release in order to 
7
reasonably assure the defendant's satisfactory
progress in 
8
treatment and his or her safety and the safety of others in

9
accordance with the standards established in paragraph (1) (D) 
10
of subsection (a-1)
(a). Nothing in
this Section shall limit a 
11
Court's contempt powers or any other powers of a
Court.

12
    (j) An order of admission under this Section does not 
13
affect the
remedy of habeas corpus.

14
    (k) In the event of a conflict between this Section and the 
15
Mental Health
and Developmental Disabilities Code or the Mental 
16
Health and Developmental
Disabilities Confidentiality Act, the 
17
provisions of this Section shall govern.

18
    (l) This amendatory Act shall apply to all persons who have 
19
been found
not guilty by reason of insanity and who are 
20
presently committed to the
Department of Mental Health and 
21
Developmental Disabilities (now the
Department of Human 
22
Services).

23
    (m) The Clerk of the Court shall, after the entry of an 
24
order of transfer
to a non-secure setting of the Department of 
25
Human Services or discharge or
conditional release, transmit
a 
26
certified
copy of the order to the Department of Human
