If the court orders only temporary protective services for a subject individual under this paragraph, the individual shall be provided care only on an outpatient basis.

Act 292, however, did not take into account the treatment of this provision by 1995 Wis. Act 268. This treatment returns the provision to its pre-Act 292 status, as affected by Act 268, effective December 1, 2001. See also the next 2 sections of this bill.
