a licensed physician especially
qualified in the diagnosis of mental

available, by any licensed physician or licensed
mental health
professional available to the institution.
Subd. 3. Transfer. If the licensed mental health
professional finds the person to be a person who is mentally ill
and in
need of short-term care, the examining health care
professional may
recommend transfer by the commissioner of
corrections to the mental health
unit established pursuant to
subdivision 1.

4. Commitment. If the examining health care
professional or licensed mental

the
treatment program at the mental health unit, the director of
psychological
services of the institution or the mental health

proceedings for judicial commitment
as provided in section 253B.07.
Upon the recommendation of the

care for mental illness the
director of psychological services
shall discharge the patient to the
