Division:	Substance Abuse Program


Overview



	The Department of Children and Families announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	August 2, 2010, 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.

PLACE:	Parrish Medical Center, Conference Center, 951 North Washington Avenue, Titusville, Florida

Subject:	The Department is seeking public input and information regarding an exception to the Baker Act law in regards to transporting minors. The Florida Mental Health Act permits a community to request an exception to certain requirements for transportation of persons for involuntary examination contained in Section 394.462(3), Florida Statutes. The exception plan for minors requested for Circuit 18/Brevard County proposes to require the transportation of minors to the nearest receiving facility that has licensed psychiatric beds specifically designated for minors, instead of to the nearest receiving facility serving persons of all ages. This is a permitted exception to the statutory requirements in that it improves service coordination and better meets the special needs of youth in Circuit 18/Brevard County.
