The administrator of the facility or designee shall prepare, deliver a copy of, and read and explain to the person being conditionally discharged a written statement in clear and understandable language of the conditions of conditional discharge and a warning that violation of those conditions may result in revocation of the conditional discharge pursuant to N.H. Rev. Stat. § 171-A:23.
II. A conditional discharge shall not exceed the period of time remaining on the order of involuntary admission and shall become absolute at the end of its term, unless extended by the court.
