This bill aims to amend the law regarding juveniles in the welfare and institutions code. Currently, a juvenile court can order a parent or guardian to provide adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical treatment if necessary. The court can also make reasonable orders to ensure the child's well-being. This bill requires that if a juvenile court orders a parent or guardian to submit to controlled substance testing, the test panel must also include testing for fentanyl.
