35.86 Insane veteran; commitment, procedure.
Sec. 16.
Commitment of insane veteran. Whenever it appears that any veteran is eligible for treatment in a United States veterans' facility and commitment is necessary for the proper care and treatment of such veteran, the court of the county in which the veteran is found, may, upon receipt of a certificate of eligibility from the veterans administration, and if the veteran be adjudged insane in accordance with law, direct such veteran's commitment to the veterans administration for hospitalization in a United States veterans' facility.
Thereafter such veteran upon admission to any such facility shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the veterans administration and the chief officer of such facility shall be vested with the same powers exercised by superintendents of state hospitals for mental diseases within this state with reference to the retention, transfer or parole of the veteran so committed. Notice of such pending commitment proceedings shall be furnished the person to be committed and his right to appear and defend shall not be denied.
The commitment of a veteran to a veterans' facility within this state by a court of another state under a similar provision of law, shall have the same force and effect as if such commitment were made by a court of this state.
