The bill would amend the Family Code, to permit a juvenile court to order a child who is detained in a facility operated by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, a pre-adjudication secure detention facility, or a post-adjudication secure correctional facility to be evaluated by a legally-authorized professional to determine whether the child has a mental illness, is a person with mental retardation, or suffers from chemical dependency.  It is assumed the number of offenders supervised or incarcerated under this proposal would not significantly impact state correctional agency resources.
