1999
Minnesota Youth Legislative Summit
February 25, 1999
On February 25, 1999 200 students from across Minnesota came
together to discuss HF0183. The bill would modify conditions for
parental consent to voluntary admission for chemical dependency treatment
of certain minors under the civil commitment and treatment act.
In plain English, it changes the age at which a youth
can refuse chem dep treatment from 16 to 18.
On April 12, 1999 the Governor signed HF0183
into law. The change becomes affective August 1, 1999.
