AI Summary
This bill requires the Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA), which oversees programs and services for at-risk youth, to provide any prescribed medication for a juvenile at the time that juvenile is placed in a detention facility. If the medication is not immediately available, the OJA must provide it to the detention facility operator within 48 hours at no cost. This change aims to ensure that juveniles in temporary detention receive their necessary medications promptly. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
