Determination as to condition of defendant; disposition of defendant.

If, after conducting the hearing, the court determines that the defendant is no longer mentally ill or no longer poses a real and present threat of substantial harm to himself or to others by being at large, the court shall order his release. If the court determines that the defendant is still mentally ill but no longer poses a real and present threat of substantial harm to himself or to others by being at large if his release is accompanied by certain conditions, the court shall order his release subject to those conditions necessary to prevent the defendant from posing a real and present threat of substantial harm to himself or to others.
