Relating to a parent's right to intervene in the apprehension by a peace officer of a child for an emergency detention and certain requirements and restrictions applicable to an emergency detention.

HB 2069 requires peace officers to contact a child’s parent, guardian, or legal caretaker before placing a child under emergency detention for mental health concerns. The bill grants these family members the right to take custody of the child and choose their own treatment provider. Officers must document their attempt to contact family members in both the detention form and, for school officers, in the child’s school records. This applies specifically to children under 18 years old during emergency mental health detentions. The bill directly affects parents/guardians, school personnel, and law enforcement officers handling such cases.
