Bill overview
This bill updates Nevada’s child welfare procedures, primarily focusing on medical and mental health care for children in state custody. It requires child welfare agencies to respond within 14 days to recommendations for non-emergency medical care, and to make reasonable efforts to obtain consent from other parties if needed. The bill also mandates agencies to notify the child’s placement provider promptly about any court orders or denials related to treatment. These changes aim to ensure children in protective custody receive timely access to necessary healthcare.
