Relating to: consent to mental health treatment by minors who are age 14 or older.
SB 107 allows minors aged 14 or older to consent to their own inpatient mental health treatment for mental illness or developmental disability without parental permission. It amends statutes to require minors 14+ to sign admission applications directly, with parents/guardians only needing to sign if the minor refuses. If a minor 14+ seeks treatment but parents refuse or cannot be found, the minor may petition a court for approval within 3 days. The bill also mandates facilities to inform minors and parents of their rights, including court review options, and sets a 5-day timeline for courts to decide on admission petitions. This directly affects minors 14+, their families, and mental health facilities.
