Cofounder Sheila Matthews with Bill Sponsor Representative Hetherington at
New Canaan Chamber of Commerce Luncheon displays
New Parent Protection Bill regarding Informed
Consent and the Right to Refuse Psychiatric Testing in Public
Schools. To learn more about Proposed Bill 6202, parent rights relating to
psychiatric testing and drug use visit www.ablechild.org. Background In
2001 the State of Connecticut passed the first law in the Country that
prohibited school personnel from recommending psychiatric drugs to parents
for their children, Public Act 01-124. Connecticut legislation stood
as a model where other States quickly followed with similar legislation.
This law fueled a national movement that resulted in the Federal law
“The Child Medication Safety Act”, which received overwhelming support
from both political parties.
