Sec. 498t.
If a person who requests hospitalization of a minor under section 498d or 498h is unable, after reasonable efforts, to transport the minor for the evaluation required by section 498e, a request may be submitted to the court for an order to transport the minor. If the court is satisfied that a reasonable effort was made by the person requesting hospitalization to transport the minor for evaluation, the court must order a peace officer to take the minor into protective custody. After the minor is taken into protective custody, a peace officer or a security transport officer must transport the minor immediately to the evaluation site, and if necessary, from the evaluation site to the hospital for admission. The person requesting the transport order must meet the minor at the evaluation site and remain with the minor for the duration of the evaluation.
