HB 809 Child abuse and neglect; valid report or complaint, alleged abuser.
Introduced by: Karrie K. Delaney | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Child abuse and neglect; valid report or complaint; alleged abuser. Requires a local department of social services to conduct an investigation or family assessment when, among other things, a report or complaint of child abuse or neglect is received in which the alleged abuser (i) is the child's relative by blood, marriage, or adoption; (ii) is the child's caretaker or has supervisory control over such child; or (iii) resides or is regularly present in the same household as the child. The bill also amends the definition of "abused or neglected child" to accommodate this directive. Under current law, local departments are only required to conduct an investigation or family assessment when the alleged abuser is the child's parent or other caretaker.
