Beginning in the 1998–99 fiscal year, county mental health departments that receive full system of care funding, as determined by the State Department of Health Care Services in consultation with counties, shall provide to children served by county social services and probation departments mental health screening, assessment, participation in multidisciplinary placement teams and specialty mental health treatment services for children placed out of home in group care, for those children who meet the definition of medical necessity, to the extent resources are available. These counties shall give first priority to children currently receiving psychoactive medication.
