Faster medical consent for kids in custody

The law sets a 14-day clock for non-emergency care recommended by a health-care provider for children in custody. After the caseworker gets written notice, the agency must approve or deny consent within 14 days. If another person’s consent is needed for medical or mental health care, the agency must try to get it within 14 days. If a court order is needed, the agency must start the court process within 14 days of written notice. The agency must tell the child’s placement as soon as practicable and without delay after approval or denial.
