The bill would amend to Child Protection Law to state that the fact that a child's parent or guardian refuses to have the child administered a psychotropic drug or questions the administration of a psychotropic drug to the child would not be considered child abuse or neglect, nor would it be considered to be reasonable cause to suspect that child abuse or neglect has occurred.
