	Amend CSSB 6 in SECTION 2.09 of the bill by striking added 
Section 48.208(e-1), Human Resources Code (House committee 
printing, page 115, lines 14-27, and page 116, lines 1-2), and 
substituting the following:
	(e-1)  The court may extend an emergency order issued under 
this section once for an additional period not to exceed 14 days and 
may extend an extension issued under this section for an additional 
period not to exceed an additional 14 days if the court receives a 
medical report signed by a physician stating that the person is 
physically or mentally incapable of consenting to services and the 
court, after a hearing, finds that the immediate danger to the 
health or safety of the elderly or disabled person continues to 
exist.  The medical report must be based on an examination the 
physician performed not earlier than the date the court granted the 
initial emergency order.  An extension order [may be removed for not 
more than 14 additional days.  A renewal order] that ends on a 
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday is automatically extended to 4 
p.m. on the first succeeding business day.  The court may shorten 
the term of [modify] or terminate the emergency order on petition of 
the department, the elderly or disabled [incapacitated] person, or 
any person interested in the elderly or disabled person's [his] 
welfare.
