Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes the Foster Care for Children Law (5776) by adding psychiatric treatment and treatment with psychiatric medication to the matters in which a foster parent is authorized to give consent. By contrast, psychiatric hospitalization will remain among the matters in which a foster parent is not authorized to give consent. The bill distinguishes between outpatient treatment (ongoing treatment at a clinic), which the foster parent will be able to approve, and hospitalization requiring closer supervision, which the foster parent cannot approve. The amendment applies to children in foster care status.
