Juvenile Law: Presumptive Transfer of Specialty Mental Health Services (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Family and Juvenile Law Advisory Committee proposes the adoption of one statewide rule and four juvenile law (JV) forms, including an information sheet. The rule and forms implement a procedural framework and are intended to provide procedural clarity for a juvenile court review hearing created by recent legislation involving foster children’s access to specialty mental health services under federal early and periodic screening, diagnosis and treatment services. The committee also recommends renumbering a JV form to keep the JV forms related to this proposal in sequential order with other JV forms related to mental health treatment for foster children, including the administration of a foster child’s psychotropic medications.
