2. In a case where commitment to a treatment facility was ordered by a juvenile court pursuant to NRS 62D.180 or 62D.185, if the administrative officer of the facility or the administrative officer's designee has determined that the treatment available at the facility is not appropriate or necessary for the child's health and welfare and for the protection of the community, the administrative officer or the administrative officer's designee shall assist the court with identifying a facility that has the appropriate or necessary treatment.
