Bill > SB0227

This bill amends existing law to modify conditions for emergency safety intervention in children's therapeutic group homes. The key provisions are: - Allows emergency safety intervention in the form of physical management in children's therapeutic group homes, but requires compliance with the Mental Health Code and associated administrative rules. - Specifies that this emergency safety intervention is allowed if a child caring institution contracts with and receives payment from a community mental health services program or prepaid inpatient health plan for the care, treatment, maintenance, and supervision of a minor child in the institution. - Defines key terms related to emergency safety intervention, including "personal restraint," "seclusion," and "serious injury." - Provides additional context and requirements around the use of emergency safety interventions in these facilities. The bill aims to ensure appropriate and regulated use of emergency safety interventions in specialized residential facilities serving children with developmental disabilities or serious emotional disturbances.
