hospital, or other treatment facility the court in its discretion has the alternative to return the person to the criminal court for further disposition, or may make an order committing the person to the department for confinement in a state hospital, or may commit the person to the county mental health director for confinement in an appropriate public or private treatment facility, approved by such director or may place the person on outpatient status under Title 15 (commencing with\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 1600) of Part 2 of the Penal Code\u00a0<\/span>. \u2002A copy of such

disposition of the case as the court deems necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The court shall transmit a copy of its order to the county mental health director or a designee and to the Director of Mental Health in all cases where a person is found to be a mentally disordered sex offender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"subsection\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">(2)\u2002Prior to making such order, the court shall order the county mental health director or a designee to evaluate the person and to submit to the court within 15 judicial days of such order a written recommendation as to whether the person should be committed to a state hospital or to another treatment facility approved by the county mental health director or be placed on outpatient status under the provisions of Title 15 (commencing with\u00a0<span class=\"cite\">Section 1600) of Part 2 of the Penal Code\u00a0<\/span>. \u2002No such person shall be admitted to a state hospital or other treatment facility or placed on outpatient
