Does anyone know what this means or can explain it?
Except as to informal patients and patients admitted pursuant to section 9.39 or 9.40, the director of a hospital shall within five days, excluding Sunday and holidays, after the admission of any patient forward to the mental hygiene legal service a record of such patient and shall simultaneously forward to the department such information from the record as the commissioner by regulation shall require.
This does not apply to you, at least based on what you said previously.

You were an “informal” patient. You were not admitted or committed.
