(d)  Failure to comply.-- If an involuntary outpatient treatment provider becomes aware that the person has violated any provision of the treatment plan or any term or condition specified pursuant to subsection (a) or the provider concludes that the person is having serious difficulty controlling sexually violent behavior in an outpatient setting due to a mental abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in an act of sexual violence, the provider shall immediately notify the facility operated by the department pursuant to section 6406(a). The facility shall notify the court by the close of the next business day. (e)  Revocation of transfer.-- Upon receiving notice pursuant to subsection (d) that the person has violated a material term or condition of transfer specified pursuant to subsection (a) or that the person is having serious difficulty controlling sexually violent behavior in an outpatient setting due to a mental abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in an act of sexual violence, the court shall revoke the transfer to involuntary outpatient treatment and order the immediate return to involuntary inpatient treatment without a prior hearing. The court may issue a warrant requiring any law enforcement officer or any person authorized by the court to take the person into custody and return the person to involuntary inpatient treatment. The person may file a written request for a hearing after revocation of the transfer to involuntary treatment. The court shall conduct a hearing pursuant to section 6403(c) (relating to court-ordered involuntary treatment) within ten days of filing of the request.

(2)  The court shall schedule a review hearing which shall be conducted pursuant to section 6403(c) and which shall be held no later than 30 days after receipt of both the evaluation and the assessment under paragraph (1). Notice of the review hearing shall be provided to the person, the attorney who represented the person at the previous hearing held pursuant to section 6403, the district attorney and the county solicitor or a designee. The person and the person's attorney shall also be provided with written notice advising that the person has the right to counsel and that, if the person cannot afford one, counsel shall be appointed for the person. If the court determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person has serious difficulty controlling sexually violent behavior due to a mental abnormality or personality disorder that makes the person likely to engage in an act of sexual violence, the court shall order an additional period of involuntary inpatient treatment of one year; otherwise, the court shall order the discharge of the person and inform the person on the record and in open court of the person's obligation to attend counseling under subsection (g), including the penalty for failing to attend counseling under 18 Pa.C.S. § 4915.1 (relating to failure to comply with registration requirements). The order shall be in writing and shall be consistent with the protection of the public safety and appropriate control, care and treatment of the person. Upon discharge, the person shall attend counseling under subsection (g).
