Revises provisions governing certain programs of treatment established by the juvenile court. (BDR 5-62)
SB 140 expands a juvenile court program that provides treatment for children with specific conditions. It now includes children diagnosed with or suspected of having neurobehavioral disorders linked to prenatal exposure to alcohol or controlled substances (such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders), in addition to autism spectrum disorders. The bill allows juvenile courts to assign eligible children to this program if they would benefit, with requirements for progress reports and clear terms for program completion. This change directly affects children in juvenile court cases with these diagnoses, ensuring they can access targeted treatment instead of standard court processes. The program must include specific progress monitoring and supervision terms set by the court.
