Vermont § 9004 - Aftercare and supervision—Article IV

§ 9004. Aftercare and supervision—Article IV

• (a) Whenever pursuant to the laws of the state in which a patient is physically present,
  it shall be determined that the patient should receive aftercare or supervision, such
  care or supervision may be provided in a receiving state. If the medical or other
  appropriate clinical authorities having responsibility for the care and treatment
  of the patient in the sending state shall have reason to believe that aftercare in
  another state would be in the best interest of the patient and would not jeopardize
  the public safety, they shall request the appropriate authorities in the receiving
  state to investigate the desirability of affording the patient such aftercare in said
  receiving state and such investigation shall be made with all reasonable speed. The
  request for investigation shall be accompanied by complete information concerning
  the patient’s intended place of residence and the identity of the person in whose
  charge it is proposed to place the patient, the complete medical history of the patient
  and such other documents as may be pertinent. (b) If the medical or other appropriate clinical authorities having responsibility for
  the care and treatment of the patient in the sending state and the appropriate authorities
  in the receiving state find that the best interest of the patient would be served
  thereby, and if the public safety would not be jeopardized thereby, the patient may
  receive aftercare or supervision in the receiving state. (c) In supervising, treating, or caring for a patient on aftercare pursuant to the terms
  of this article, a receiving state shall employ the same standards of visitation,
  examination, care and treatment that it employs for similar local patients. (Added 1967, No. 305 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. Oct. 1, 1968.)
