transportation to an evaluation facility. (d) A defendant charged with a felony offense against a person under AS 11.41 or felony arson and found to be incompetent to proceed under AS 12.47.100 is rebuttably presumed to be mentally ill and to present a likelihood of serious harm to self or others. In evaluating whether a defendant is likely to cause serious harm under this section, the court may consider the conduct with which the defendant was originally charged as evidence of recent behavior, regardless of any time spent in custody. Sec. 47.30.707. Admission to and hold at a crisis stabilization center. (a) Except as provided in (b) of this section, when a crisis stabilization center admits a respondent under AS 47.30.705, the crisis stabilization center may hold the respondent at the center for a period not to exceed 23 hours and 59 minutes. A mental health professional shall examine the respondent within three hours after the respondent arrives at the center. (b) If the professional person in charge at the crisis stabilization center determines that there is probable cause to believe that the respondent has a mental illness and is suffering an acute behavioral health crisis and, as a result, is likely to cause serious harm to self or others or is gravely disabled, the respondent's acute behavioral health crisis will be resolved during admission to a crisis residential center or evaluation facility, and the respondent is not willing to voluntarily go to the crisis residential center or evaluation facility, a mental health professional may submit an ex parte application to the court under this section for detention at the crisis residential center or evaluation facility. Based on the application, if the court finds that probable cause exists to believe that the respondent has a mental illness and is suffering an acute behavioral health crisis and, as a result, is likely to cause serious harm to self or others or is gravely disabled and the respondent's acute behavioral health crisis will be resolved during admission to a crisis residential center or evaluation facility, and the respondent is not willing to voluntarily go to a crisis residential center or evaluation facility, the court shall grant the application and appoint an attorney to represent the respondent, and the respondent may remain at the crisis stabilization center until admission to a crisis residential center or evaluation facility. If the court finds no probable cause, the court shall order the respondent released. Sec. 47.30.708. Admission to and detention at a crisis residential center. (a) A respondent who is delivered to a crisis residential center for emergency examination and treatment shall be examined and evaluated as to mental and physical condition by a mental health professional within three hours after arrival at the facility.
