These rules govern the procedure for recognition and enforcement by the superior court of an involuntary commitment order of the court of any federally recognized Indian tribe within the State of Arizona, as authorized by A.R.S. § 12-136. Determinations regarding recognition of the tribal court commitment order pursuant to these rules have no effect upon the independent authority of the tribal court order. Whenever reference is made to the proposed patient in these rules, it means the person who is the subject of the tribal court commitment order.
