Bill > SB1234

This bill, known as Leo's Law, amends existing law concerning children who are declared dependents of the juvenile court, meaning the court has taken responsibility for their care due to circumstances like abuse or neglect. Specifically, it adds a provision that if a juvenile court orders a parent or guardian to undergo drug testing, that testing must now include fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid that has contributed to a significant increase in overdose deaths. This change aims to ensure that courts are aware of fentanyl use when making decisions about a child's safety and well-being.
