   Any person may be admitted to a state mental hospital or
   state-operated community mental health center on a voluntary basis as
   an informal patient when there are available accommodations and in the
   judgment of the person in charge of the facility or his designee such
   person may require treatment therein. Such person may be admitted as
   an informal patient without making formal or written application
   therefor and any such informal patient shall be free to leave such
   facility on any day between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. and
   at such other times as the person in charge of the facility may
   determine.
   
   No person shall be admitted as an informal patient pursuant to the
   provisions of this section to any state mental hospital or
   state-operated community mental health center unless the person in
   charge of the facility or his designee has informed such person in
   writing of the following:
   
   1. The rules and procedures of the facility relating to the discharge
   of informal patients;
   
   2. The legal rights of an informal patient receiving treatment from
   the facility; and
   
   3. The types of treatment which are available to the informal patient
   at the facility.
