Where there is a determination by a court in any state that an attorney is a protected person as that term is defined in § 29A-5-102 or is the subject of a court order directing commitment to or inpatient treatment in a healthcare or treatment facility for a medical condition, the Supreme Court, upon proof of that fact, shall enter an order transferring such attorney to medical inactive status effective immediately and until the further order of the Court. A copy of such order shall be served upon such attorney, the attorney's guardian, and/or the director of the institution to which the attorney has been committed in such manner as the Court may direct. The Supreme Court shall enter such orders as are necessary to notify the attorney's clients of the attorney's change in status.
