SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Child fatality review. Allows any local or regional law-enforcement agency, fire department, department of social services, emergency medical services, Commonwealth attorney’s office, or community services board to initiate a child fatality review team. Members of local or regional teams may be composed of named official positions within the localities and additional persons, not to exceed five, may be appointed by the chairperson. Each team establishes its own rules and procedures with technical assistance from the State Child Fatality Review Team. Reviews are contingent upon the completed review of any criminal investigation or consent by the attorney for the Commonwealth. All records reviewed, reports produced, and closed meetings are confidential and exempt from the Freedom of Information Act. Nonidentifying information, however, may be disclosed. Members of the teams and their agents or employees, as well as any organization, institution, or person who provided information, etc., are immune from civil liability for any act or omission unless such was the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
