Dependency: fentanyl testing.

Introduced Feb 19, 2026Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-CA)12 cosponsors

Summary

Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge children to be dependents of the court under certain circumstances, including when the child suffered or there is a substantial risk that the child will suffer serious physical harm, or a parent fails to provide the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical treatment. Existing law authorizes a court to make any reasonable orders to the parents or guardians of the child as the court deems necessary and proper. This bill would require, if a juvenile court orders a parent or guardian to submit to testing for controlled substances, that test panel include testing for fentanyl.
