§ 30:4-177.
Application for the admission of any individual to the institute, other than by transfer
or voluntary request, shall be upon forms prescribed by the Commissioner of Institutions
and Agencies and upon certification of two physicians that the person suffers from
a disease or disfunction of the brain or nervous system, requires hospital care, and

by law for the commitment of any person to a mental hospital except that instead of
an order of commitment the judicial officer shall enter an order authorizing admission
