Existing law: (1) authorizes the use of corrective room restriction on a child who is detained in a state, local or regional facility for the detention of children; and (2) specifies certain actions that must be taken with respect to a child who is subjected to corrective room restriction. Under existing law, a child who is subjected to corrective room restriction for more than 24 hours must be provided a review of the corrective room restriction status at least once every 24 hours. (NRS 62B.215, 63.505) Sections 1 and 2 of this bill require that the review be conducted by a member of the staff of the facility and include a review of whether a referral for a mental health screening, evaluation or treatment is appropriate.
