§346-230 Termination of services. The department shall act only with the consent of the victim, unless the department obtains court authorization to provide necessary services, as provided in section 346-231. Investigation and services provided under this part shall be immediately terminated if:
(1) The dependent adult has the capacity to consent and either does not consent or withdraws consent to the receipt of protective services; or
(2) The department determines that protection is no longer needed under this part; or
(3) The court so orders.
Upon the department's determination that protective services are no longer needed, the dependent adult shall be referred to the agency responsible for follow-up services.
