(1)A mental health board shall be notified in writing of the release by the treatment facility of any individual committed by the mental health board. Such notice shall immediately be forwarded to the county attorney.

Such hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures established for hearings under the Nebraska Mental Health Commitment Act. The subject of such hearing shall be accorded all rights guaranteed to the subject of a petition under the act.
(2)In the case of a subject who is domiciled in Indian country and committed for treatment as provided in section 71-964 , the tribal court shall be notified in writing of the release by the treatment facility of any such subject committed by the tribal court.
