   10         (b) A parenting plan approved by the court must, at a
   11  minimum, describe in adequate detail how the parents will share
   12  and be responsible for the daily tasks associated with the
   13  upbringing of the child; include the time-sharing schedule
   14  arrangements that specify the time that the minor child will
   15  spend with each parent; designate responsibility a designation
   16  of who will be responsible for any and all forms of health care,
   17  school-related matters, including the address to be used for
   18  school-boundary determination and registration, and other
   19  activities; and describe in adequate detail the methods and
   20  technologies that the parents will use to communicate with the
   21  child. The parenting plan must also designate one or both
   22  parents as being responsible for health care decisionmaking. If
   23  the court orders shared parental responsibility, the plan must
   24  provide that either parent may consent to mental health or
   25  substance abuse treatment for the child if the child is referred
   26  by a psychologist for such treatment. Responsibility for the

   28  treatment of the child is governed by the marital settlement
   29  agreement approved by the court or court order.
