    A child or a child's family, as appropriate, who requests 
 mental health services under sections 245.487 to 245.4888 must 
 be advised of services available and the right to appeal as 
 described in this section at the time of the request and each 
 time the individual family community support plan or individual

 health services under sections 245.487 to 245.4888 is denied, 
 not acted upon with reasonable promptness, or whose services are 
 suspended, reduced, or terminated by action or inaction for 
 which the county board is responsible under sections 245.487 to 
 245.4888 may contest that action or inaction before the state 
 agency according to section 256.045.  The commissioner shall 
 monitor the nature and frequency of administrative appeals under 
 this section.
