Answer:

hi there!

i believe it is different for each states. the baker act provided emergency mental health services and temporary detention to people who are unsafe because of their mental illness. your sister can be held in there involuntarily for only up to 72 hours.. that is if she wasnt a minor, now for her it is only 12 hours before examination is initiated. you said that you and your family have not been able to see her? as im researching more about this law, it found out that "unless having visitors will be harmful to the person being treated. If a facility wants to restrict visitors from a patient, they must file a written notice documenting the refusal of visitation." which means you guys must have gotten a written notice telling you that seeing her isnt the safest option right now. since your sister is a minor someone must have had to contacted the police/ law enforcement about her..

mental heath facilities have to provide notice to minor patient guardians, no later than 24 hours after admission, they must also document all contact attempts. that notification must be give as soon as your sister entered at that facility.. it can take just about a full 24 hours if the facility have evidence to believe that the patient has been abused.

i have yet to have any evidence that states that they can hold minors without consent of the legal parent guardian, i doubt that your sister was able to even go into that mental heath facility without your parents or someone with the law knowing.

i really hope this help you and i hope the best for your family and your sister!

( here is a photo that might explain the process a little better then i can at this moment )

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

D. Passing a new law about endangered species.

Explanation:

A legislature refers to the legislative body or arm of the federal government that are typically saddled with the responsibility of making or enacting laws. The state legislature is one of the body of governance that has the power or authority to ratify (approve, confirm or give consent) a proposed amendment to the Constitution by getting three-quarter of the states to vote in support.

A bicameral legislature can be defined as a legislative body that comprises of two chambers or houses; the upper house and lower house. The upper chamber or house consists of senators while the lower chamber consists of house of representatives.

Generally, the type of government in which legislators such as senators or house of representative members are found is known as a democracy and they are saddled with the responsibility of enacting or making (passing) new laws.

This ultimately implies that, the role the legislative branch play in making public policy is passing a new law about endangered species. The new law could place a ban on poaching and wildlife hunting while promoting ideas that enhances the conservation of all endangered species, which are going into extinction.

Additionally, a policy can be defined as a conduct or principle of behavior expressed by the government (authority) and are mainly considered to be beneficial and necessary for the growth and development of a person, institution and the society.
