Deletes provision that unless otherwise specifically authorized by law, the court is not empowered under to order specific placements, specific services, or specific service providers to be included in the plan. Provides that if, after receiving the evidence, the court determines that the minor's current or planned placement is not necessary or appropriate the court shall put in writing the factual bases supporting the determination, enter specific findings based on the evidence, and enter any other orders necessary to protect the health, safety, and best interests of the minor.
