The celebrity's advocacy against what she calls the 'troubled teen industry' could lead to a new law in California.
California lawmakers on Wednesday passed bipartisan legislation to enact stricter public oversight on the use of seclusion or restraints on children and teenagers in residential treatment facilities, protections advocated by celebrity hotel heir Paris Hilton. Senate Bill 1043, written by Sen. Shannon Grove , would require both public and private short-term therapeutic programs to publish every incident of seclusion or restraint used on minors, as well as any health or safety concerns.
Under the bill, the California Department of Social Services would be required to publish data on its website about every incident in which seclusion or restraint is used, searchable by anyone. It's up to the department how to display the information to the public, according to Grove's office. The parent, foster parent, guardian or tribal representative of a child subjected to this punishment also would be notified.
