13691369 all center entrances and exits.
13701370 (b) A juvenile crisis intervention center shall provide treatment to
13711371 juveniles admitted to such center, as appropriate while admitted.
13721372 (c) A juvenile crisis intervention center may be on the same premises
13731373 as that of another licensed facility. If the juvenile crisis intervention center
13741374 is on the same premises as that of another licensed facility, the living unit
13751375 of the juvenile crisis intervention center shall be maintained in a separate,
13761376 self-contained unit. No juvenile crisis intervention center shall be in a city

13791379 center when:
13801380 (A) The head of such center determines such juvenile is in need of
13811381 treatment and likely to cause harm to self or others;

13871387 (2) A juvenile may be admitted to a juvenile crisis intervention center
13881388 for not more than 30 days. A parent with legal custody or legal guardian of
13891389 a juvenile placed in a juvenile crisis intervention center may remove such
13901390 juvenile from the center at any time. If the removal may cause the juvenile
13911391 to become a child in need of care pursuant to K.S.A. 38-2202(d), and
13921392 amendments thereto, the head of a juvenile crisis intervention center may
13931393 report such concerns to the department for children and families or law
13941394 enforcement or may request the county or district attorney to initiate
13951395 proceedings pursuant to the revised Kansas code for care of children. If the
13961396 head of a juvenile crisis intervention center determines the most
13971397 appropriate action is to request the county or district attorney to initiate
13981398 proceedings pursuant to the revised Kansas code for care of children, the
13991399 head of such center shall make such request and shall keep such juvenile in
14001400 the center for an additional 24-hour period to initiate the appropriate
14011401 proceedings.

14031403 center, the managed care organization, if the juvenile is a medicaid
14041404 recipient, and the community mental health center serving the area where
14051405 the juvenile is being discharged shall be involved with discharge planning.
14061406 Within seven days prior to the discharge of a juvenile, the head of the
14071407 juvenile crisis intervention center shall give written notice of the date and
14081408 time of the discharge to the patient, the managed care organization, if the
