The medical opinion referred to by Article 706-136-1 and by Article D. 47-34 consists of at least one psychiatric assessment ordered by the sentence enforcement judge.
The sentence enforcement judge may, however, with the agreement of the public prosecutor, state by order or reasoned judgement that there is no need to order a new psychiatric assessment prior to a decision ordering an obligation to provide care if there is an assessment in the convicted person’s file that is less than two years old, including if it was carried out prior to the conviction.
