An Act Concerning The Department Of Developmental Services' Abuse And Neglect Investigations.

Became law

This already passed. Here's what you can still do.

1. Push for repeal or amendment

Legislative staff still count constituent contacts on enacted laws. A steady mail stream is what gets a bill onto the next session's repeal docket. Pick “Oppose” below and the message will frame the ask around repeal, amendment, or enforcement relief.

→ Write to your rep

3. Tell people the bill affects

Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

To ensure family members of suspected abuse or neglect victims have access to abuse and neglect investigation reports filed by the Department of Developmental Services unless such family members are suspected of such abuse or neglect and require the department to evaluate and report on the sufficiency of background checks of persons hired to provide services to clients served by the department and whether abuse and neglect investigations are conducted in a prompt and thorough manner.
