Died in Health & Human Services Committee
Summary
The bill would require the Department of Children and Families to obtain court authorization and submit a detailed medical report before a child in its custody can receive psychotropic medication, and a new report would be needed only if the medication changes. It also mandates quarterly meetings between the department, community‑based care agencies, and organizations that empower children with lived experience, with agendas and minutes posted online and biannual public reports beginning in 2027. Additionally, it establishes a weekly cash allowance for children in out‑of‑home care that cannot be withheld as punishment and sets a “reasonable and prudent parent” standard for approving extracurricular activities.
