A, §11, is further amended to read:

 
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. If placement in a__licensed residential care
facility providing a mental health treatment program is an
appropriate alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, that
placement may be made by the commissioner with the juvenile
client's or juvenile detainee's consent.
