1. If the court issues an order to continue the emergency 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 order must be interlocutory, and the child must be discharged from the facility if the order is not renewed within 14 days after the order is issued.
2. A facility may unconditionally release a child who is admitted under an emergency admission that has been continued pursuant to NRS 432B.6076 without a prior order of the court upon the written recommendation of the psychiatrist and other person professionally qualified in the field of psychiatric mental health who are responsible for treating the child. Upon receipt of such a recommendation, the facility shall provide notice of the recommendation to the agency which provides child welfare services and the agency shall notify all parties and the court. Such notice must include, without limitation, an explanation of the reasons that:
(a) The release is clinically appropriate; and
(b) The child is capable of being safely and effectively treated in a less restrictive appropriate environment.
