§43A-7-111.
The certificate of competency executed by the superintendent shall be
conclusive evidence of restoration to legal competence. The
certificate filed with the district court clerk in the original
proceedings shall in and of itself constitute a restoration of
competency. No action by the person named on the certificate is
required. Such person will be notified of his restoration and
furnished a copy of the document of restoration to legal competency.
If such person shall have been discharged from an institution within
the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services prior to
the date the laws of this state required execution of such
certificate, then said person may be restored to legal competency
without such certificate, and evidence of the discharge of such person
shall be prima facie evidence upon which the district court may,
without additional evidence, enter an order restoring such person to
legal competency for all matters, and no further action, in court or
otherwise, shall be necessary for such restoration.
