HB 507 Child abuse; increases reporting period by health care providers on substance exposed infants.
Introduced by: T. Scott Garrett | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Suspected child abuse; substance exposed infants; reporting by physicians. Increases the period of time from seven days to six weeks during which a health care provider, not exclusively the attending physician as in current law, may make a finding that an infant is a substance exposed infant in cases in which the determination is based on a drug test of the infant or on a diagnosis that the child has an illness, disease, or condition that may be attributed to in utero exposure to controlled substances. A diagnosis that the infant has fetal alcohol spectrum disorder may be made at any time following a child's birth. The bill also allows a petition to be filed alleging suspected child abuse or neglect based on a finding by a health care provider that an infant is a substance exposed infant at any time. This bill is identical to SB 448.
