| Summary |
For a minor who is 15 years of age or younger, current law
authorizes electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) to be performed if certain
conditions are met, including that ECT is medically necessary to treat
life-threatening malignant catatonia. The bill removes this condition.
The bill authorizes the minor to object to ECT verbally or in
writing and sets forth the procedures for when a minor objects. A minor
has no legal authority to object to ECT if the ECT is medically necessary
to treat life-threatening malignant catatonia.
