HB635

Summary

The Child Protection Reform Act requires public and private child placing agencies to prepare and maintain case plans for children under their care, particularly those who are abused, neglected, or dependent. It mandates the filing of these plans with the court and outlines procedures for changes to the plans, including requirements for court approval and timelines for completion. The act also establishes training requirements for caseworkers and mandates reporting of child abuse or neglect by certain professionals.
