A. If the person served is found able to consent and agrees to be admitted to the community living-setting they shall record their signature or make other appropriate designation of approval on the admissions document.

B. If the person served is found able to consent and the IDT indicates that the person served would benefit from placement in a community-living setting, but the person served refuses such placement attempt, then the person served may be admitted only upon involuntary commitment under Sections 43-113 NMSA 1978, or 43-1-11 NMSA 1978 and 43-1-12 NMSA 1978 of the New Mexico Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.
