(a) On filing of a petition under K.S.A. 59-30,196, and amendments thereto, the court shall set a date, time and place for a hearing on the petition. (b) A copy of a petition under K.S.A. 59-30,196, and amendments thereto, and notice of a hearing on the petition must be served personally on the respondent. The notice must inform the respondent of the respondent's rights at the hearing, including the right to an attorney and to attend the hearing. The notice must include a description of the nature, purpose and consequences of granting the petition. The court may not grant the petition if notice substantially complying with this subsection is not served on the respondent. The court may order any of the following persons to serve the notice upon the respondent: (1) The petitioner or the attorney for the petitioner; (2) the attorney appointed by the court to represent the respondent; (3) any law enforcement officer; or (4) any other person whom the court finds to be a proper person to serve this notice. (c) In a proceeding on a petition under K.S.A. 59-30,196, and amendments thereto, the notice required under subsection (b) must be given to the persons required to be listed in the petition under K.S.A. 59-30,199(a) through (c), and amendments thereto, and any other person interested in the respondent's welfare the court determines. Failure to give notice under this subsection does not preclude the court from granting the petition. (d) After the court has ordered a protective arrangement under K.S.A. 59-30,196 through 59-30,207, and amendments thereto, notice of a hearing on a petition for any other order filed under this act, together with a copy of the petition, must be given to the respondent and any other person the court determines.
