When an evaluation facility receives a proper order for evaluation, it shall accept the order and the respondent for an evaluation period not to exceed 72 hours. The evaluation facility shall promptly notify the court of the date and time of the respondent's arrival. The court shall set a date, time, and place for a 30-day commitment hearing, to be held if needed within 72 hours after the respondent's arrival, and the court shall notify the evaluation facility, the respondent, the respondent's guardian, if any, the respondent's attorney, the petitioner's attorney, if any, and the attorney general of the time and place of the hearing. Evaluation personnel, when used, shall similarly notify the court of the date and time when they first met with the respondent.
