STATE OF WASHINGTON V. ARON NIXON
— STAFF
Because the plain language of RCW 71.09.090(1)(b) is unambiguous, we hold that, for a petition proceeding under subsection (1)(b), the trial court is not required to conduct a hearing within 45 days of either DSHS or the committed person submitting a proposed LRA placement.
Wash. Ct. App. · affirmed
Whether a directive that the court 'within 45 days order a hearing' on a proposed less restrictive placement requires a trial in 45 days.
