1. (a) The Board prefers to have acquittees appear at hearings without physical restraints. If, in the judgment of the acquittee's physician, the acquittee might need restraining, the Board prefers to have staff attending the hearing with the acquittee rather than use of physical restraints. However, the final decision on use of restraints lies with the physician.
2. (b) Any attorney objecting to the acquittee appearing with restraints at the hearing may raise the issue and ask for testimony from the physician.
