If the resource center does not have appropriate services for the minor’s treatment, the department may arrange for the admission of the minor in a public or private facility within or without the state, approved by the director, which offers appropriate services for the minor’s treatment.2.  Upon receipt of an application for voluntary admission of a minor, the department shall provide for a preadmission diagnostic evaluation of the minor to confirm or establish the need for the admission. The preadmission diagnostic evaluation shall be performed by a person who meets the qualifications of a qualified intellectual disability professional who is designated by the department.3.  During the preadmission diagnostic evaluation, the minor shall be informed both orally and in writing that the minor has the right to object to the voluntary admission.
