Sec. 3.
(a) A licensee shall provide psychotropic medications to a child only as prescribed by a licensed professional in Indiana:
(1) whose scope of work includes prescribing psychotropic medications; and
(2) who has the responsibility for the diagnosis, treatment, and therapeutic planning for the child.
(b) This subsection does not apply to an emergency shelter or an emergency shelter group home. A licensee shall obtain from the prescribing licensed professional a written report at least every thirty-five (35) days for each child receiving psychotropic medication. The written report must state the reasons medication is being continued, discontinued, or changed, as well as any recommended changes in the treatment goals and planning. The report must be based on the licensed professional's review of reports by staff as well as the professional's actual observation of the child at least every ninety-three (93) days.
