(a) The court may order that a child, who is the subject of a filed petition for emergency custody/detention, be examined by a physician, surgeon, psychiatrist or psychologist, and may place the child in a hospital or other facility for such examination.

(b) The court may also order an examination of a parent/guardian/caretaker whose ability to care for the child is at issue if the court finds evidence presented at the hearing that the physical, mental, or emotional condition of the parent/guardian/caretaker may be a factor in causing the maltreatment of the child. Such examination may be ordered only for purposes of custody disposition and with consent of the parent/guardian/caretaker. [Ord. 46A § 1701(n), adopted, 3/24/2016.]
