Medical Placement for High-acuity Children

Summary

The proposal requires that children classified as “high‑acuity” – those with serious medical, developmental, behavioral health, or disability needs – be placed in medical settings that can meet those needs, with decisions made by child‑protection and multidisciplinary teams and overseen by the courts. It sets out screening, assessment, hearing, and review procedures and gives these children priority in state placement and Medicaid waiver services. The measure was withdrawn and is not moving forward.
