§43A-5-510.
   
   A. Upon the filing of a petition alleging a child to be a child in
   need of mental health treatment, the court shall:
   
   1. If the child is not represented by counsel, appoint an attorney to
   represent the child. An attorney so appointed shall consult with the
   child at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date set for
   hearing the petition. In addition, the court may appoint a guardian ad
   litem as provided by Section 1109 of Title 10 of the Oklahoma
   Statutes;
   
   2. Set a date for a hearing on the petition. Said date shall not be
   less than one (1) day, or more than three (3) days, excluding weekends
   and legal holidays, from the date of the filing of the petition. Upon
   the request of the attorney for the child, the date of the hearing may
   be extended once for up to an additional three (3) days, excluding
   weekends and holidays; and
   
   3. Cause notice of the date, time, place and purpose of the hearing to
   be given to the petitioner, the child, and, if not the petitioner, the
   parents of the child and, if applicable, the person in charge of the
   mental health facility. If the child is a ward of the court, and if
   not the petitioner, notice shall also be given to a public or private
   child care agency having legal custody of the child, if any, or to the
   person at the Department of Human Services, the Office of Juvenile
   Affairs or the applicable juvenile bureau responsible for the
   supervision of the case. Said notice shall be given at least
   twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date set for the hearing and shall
   be given in such manner as directed by the court.
   
   B. The report of a mental health evaluation of the child by an
   independent licensed mental health professional shall be attached to a
   petition for an order committing a child to a facility for inpatient
   mental health treatment.
   
   1. If the court finds the report submitted with the petition to be
   inadequate to aid the court in the disposition of the case, the court
   shall order an independent mental health evaluation of the child and
   the preparation of a proposed individualized treatment plan for the
   child.
   
   2. The court may order such other reports as it deems necessary in
   order to aid the court in the disposition of the case.
