person, corporation, association, organization or state-supported

institution, or any individual employed by any of these entities,

may procure, solicit to perform, arrange for the performance of or

perform an assessment for mental health therapy on a minor without

first obtaining the written consent of a parent or a legal guardian

of the minor child. Provided, however, that if written consent is

provided to a school district for assessment or treatment, such

consent shall be effective for the school year for which it is

granted and shall be renewed each subsequent school year. If an

assessment or treatment is performed through telemedicine at a

school site and if consent has been provided by the parent and is

currently effective, the health professional shall not be required

to verify that the parent is at the site. However, a child shall

not be seen without consent.

requires a person to perform mental health screening or provide

mental health treatment to prevent serious injury to or save the

life of a minor child.

C. A person who violates this section is guilty of a

misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than One Thousand

Dollars ($1,000.00) or imprisonment of not more than one (1) year in

the county jail, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
