Introduced by: Warren E. Barry | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Child protective services; newborn infant neglect. Requires certain persons (e.g., physicians) subject to mandatory reporting of suspected abuse to file such a report with child protective services whenever (i) a finding is made by an attending physician within seven days of a child's birth that the results of a blood or urine test conducted within 48 hours of the birth of the child indicate the presence of a controlled substance not prescribed for the mother by a physician, (ii) a finding made by an attending physician made within 48 hours of a child's birth indicates that the child was born dependent on a controlled substance which was not prescribed by a physician for the mother and has demonstrated withdrawal symptoms, (iii) a diagnosis by an attending physician is made within seven days of a child's birth that the child has an illness, disease or condition which, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, is attributable to in utero exposure to a controlled substance which was not prescribed by a physician for the mother or the child or (iv) a diagnosis by an attending physician is made within seven days of a child's birth that the child has fetal alcohol syndrome attributable to in utero exposure to alcohol. Upon receipt of such a report, CPS will commence an investigation and is authorized to petition the juvenile court and the juvenile court is authorized to enter any order it deems necessary for the protection of the child during the course of the CPS investigation and any subsequent proceedings. This bill is identical to House Bill 803.
