                          RULE 4.5                                               
                          HEARING                                                
                                                                                 
    (a) Burden of Proof. Before entering an order returning any person for       
involuntary treatment on an inpatient basis as a result of failure to            
adhere to the terms and conditions of conditional release pursuant to RCW        
71.05.340 or less restrictive treatment under RCW 71.05.320, the court           
shall find at the hearing that there is clear, cogent, and convincing            
evidence that such person did not adhere to the terms and conditions of          
release or less restrictive treatment, that the terms of such release or         
treatment should not be modified, and that the person should be returned to      
inpatient treatment.                                                             
    (b) Waiver. Waiver of the hearing provided for in RCW 71.05.340 shall        
be in writing signed by all persons required to waive under that section. A      
copy of the waiver shall be filed with the court in which the notice of          
apprehension and detention was filed.
