SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Psychiatric treatment of minors; objecting minor; criteria. Amends the criteria for admitting an objecting minor 14 years of age or older for psychiatric treatment to match the criteria for determining whether a nonobjecting minor or a minor younger than 14 years of age should be admitted. The bill also provides that if a minor 14 years of age or older who did not initially object to treatment objects to further treatment, the mental health facility where the minor is being treated shall immediately notify the parent who consented to the minor's treatment and provide to such parent a summary, prepared by the Office of the Attorney General, of the procedures for requesting continued treatment of the minor. This bill is identical to HB 1717.
