SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Parental notification of minor's mental health treatment.  Requires any employee or designee of any community services board or behavioral health authority, or any other state or local employee other than an employee of a local school board who provides mental health treatment to a minor to notify the minor's parent, legal guardian, or person standing in loco parentis of the provision of services within five days of the provision of services, unless the employee or designee of the community services board or behavioral health authority or other state or local employee providing mental health treatment determines that, in their professional judgment, notice to the parent, guardian, or person standing in loco parentis would be reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to the minor or another person.
