1. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 432B.4689, an agency which provides child welfare services shall not allow the administration of a psychotropic medication to a child in the custody of the agency unless:
(a) The person who is legally responsible for the psychiatric care of the child has consented to the administration of the medication; and
(b) The psychotropic medication is administered in accordance with the consent of the person who is legally responsible for the psychiatric care of the child.
2. An agency which provides child welfare services shall, at least quarterly, review the records for each child in the custody of the agency who is administered a psychotropic medication to determine whether the medication is being administered in accordance with NRS 432B.4681 to 432B.469, inclusive, and the policies adopted pursuant to NRS 432B.197. The agency may use the results of the quarterly reviews to determine whether the placement of the child should be continued.
