FOB 2009-004 1 of 2 CONSENT FOR PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS FOB 2009-004

INTERIM BULLETIN 12-1-2009

EFFECTIVE December 1, 2009

SUBJECT Consent for Michigan Children’s Institute (MCI) ward’s use of psy-
chotropic medications.

This bulletin retracts the FOB 2009-003 child foster care policy amend-
ment to FOM 722-11 that requires the MCI superintendent to consent to
a MCI ward’s use of psychotropic medications. Effective immediately,
this requirement is retracted.

Public and private supervising agencies must continue to apply policy

which gives a supervising agency authority to consent to a MCI ward’s
psychotropic medications. Thus, a child’s caseworker or the case-
worker’s supervisor may give written consent for psychotropic medica-
tions without contacting the MCI superintendent.

All other policy amendments in FOB 2009-003 continue in effect.
