Bill Summary
Revising voluntary admission requirements for minors, etc.
AI Summary
This bill amends Florida's existing law on voluntary admissions for mental illness. It removes the requirement for a hearing to verify the voluntariness of consent for the voluntary admission of a minor (someone 17 years of age or younger) to a mental health facility. Instead, it allows a minor to be admitted upon the express and informed consent of their guardian, as long as the minor is found to show evidence of mental illness and be suitable for treatment.
