If the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the continued administration of the prescribed medication or the treatment requested pursuant to § 27A-15-45 is the least restrictive treatment alternative medically necessary to improve the minor's serious emotional disturbance, the court may authorize the continued administration of the medication or the treatment for a period not to exceed ninety days. The court's order shall be immediately delivered to the administrator or other director and be made part of the minor's medical records. In addition, the court's order shall be immediately delivered to the minor and his parent, guardian, or custodian.
The court's order authorizing the continued administration of the prescribed medication or the treatment shall terminate sooner upon the minor's attaining the age of eighteen, the minor's discharge from the facility or program, the withdrawal of consent by the minor's parent, guardian, or custodian, or withdrawal of the minor's consent required in subdivision 27A-15-45(2), or upon a determination made pursuant to § 27A-15-51, that the administration of the medication or the treatment is no longer the least restrictive treatment alternative medically necessary to improve the minor's serious emotional disturbance.
