- Session Year: 2017-2018
- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2017-02-17
Existing law, the Childrens Mental Health Services Act, establishes an interagency system of care for children with serious emotional and behavioral disturbances that provides comprehensive, coordinated care. Existing law states that the programs are intended to ensure services will be provided to severely mentally ill children and that they be part of the childrens system of care.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
(a)It is the intent of this article to establish programs that ensure services will be provided to severely mentally ill children children, as defined in Section 5878.2 5878.2, and that they be part of the childrens system of care established pursuant to this part. It is the intent of this act that services provided under this chapter to severely mentally ill children are accountable, developed in partnership with youth and their families, culturally competent, and individualized to the strengths and needs of each child and his or her family.
(b)Nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize any services to be provided to a minor without the consent of the childs parent or legal guardian beyond those already authorized by existing statute.
