Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge children to be dependents of the court under certain circumstances, including when the child suffered or there is a substantial risk that the child will suffer serious physical harm, or a parent fails to provide the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical treatment. Existing law authorizes a court to make any reasonable orders to the parents or guardians of the child as the court deems necessary and proper.
This bill would require, if a juvenile court orders a parent or guardian to submit to testing for controlled substances, the test panel to include testing for fentanyl.
