2. Limitations. A person may not be detained at or committed to the Mountain View Youth Development Center who is blind or who is a proper subject for any residential facility if that person is more appropriately a subject for intensive temporary out-of- home treatment services or for in-home treatment services provided by or through the Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services as agreed upon by the commissioner and the Commissioner of Behavioral and Developmental Services or their designees.

3. Psychiatric hospitalization. The commissioner has all the power over a juvenile client or juvenile detainee that a guardian has over a ward and that a parent has over a child with regard to necessary psychiatric hospitalization, including hospitalization in a nonstate mental health institution or hospital for the mentally ill. If a juvenile client or juvenile detainee is or becomes 18 years of age while still under commitment or while still detained, the statutory guardianship of the commissioner over the juvenile client or juvenile detainee terminates, but the juvenile client or juvenile detainee remains subject to the control of the commissioner and staff and rules of the facility until the expiration of the period of commitment or until release or discharge from the facility. Nothing in this subsection may be construed to override the requirement to make application for psychiatric hospitalization in accordance with Title 34-B, section 3863, unless hospitalization is made with the juvenile client's or juvenile detainee's consent in accordance with Title 34-B, section 3831. The commissioner may make application for necessary psychiatric hospitalization of a juvenile detainee, including hospitalization in a nonstate mental health institution or hospital for the mentally ill, in accordance with Title 34-B, section 3863.
