     254A.145 Inhalant abuse demonstration project. 

    Within the limits of the available appropriation and 
 notwithstanding the requirements of chapter 254B, the 
 commissioner of human services shall create a demonstration 
 project to provide intervention and to coordinate community 
 services for inhalant abusers aged seven to 14.  The project 
 shall be established in a community that has been shown to be at 
 great risk of such inhalant abuse and shall include assessment, 
 education, and case management components.  For individuals 
 identified as inhalant abusers, case managers shall make 
 referrals to services otherwise offered in the community.  The 
 case manager shall also monitor the progress of the individuals 
 referred. 

    As part of this project, the commissioner of human services 
 shall work with other agencies that provide services to youth 
 and children, including education agencies and other drug 
 treatment and counseling agencies, to increase public awareness 
 concerning inhalant abuse among youth and children.
