NRS432B.608. Expiration and renewal of admission.

      1.  If the court issues an order for the admission to a facility of a child who is in the custody of an agency which provides child welfare services pursuant to NRS 432B.6076, the admission automatically expires at the end of 90 days if not terminated previously by the facility as provided for in subsection 2 of NRS 432B.6084.

      2.  At the end of the court-ordered period of treatment, the agency which provides child welfare services, the Division of Child and Family Services or any facility may petition to renew the admission of the child for additional periods not to exceed 60 days each.

      3.  For each renewal, the petition must set forth the specific reasons why further treatment in the facility would be in the best interests of the child and the court shall apply the same standards when considering a petition to renew the admission of the child as were applied for the original petition for the court-ordered admission of the child.
