Requiring publication of child near fatality reviews.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill requires the state to publish reports on child near-fatality reviews, similar to how child fatality reviews are already published. If a child in state care or receiving state services experiences a near-fatality, the department will conduct a review and release a public report within 180 days. This change aims to increase transparency regarding the causes of child near-fatalities.
