California AB1192 would require agencies to notify attorneys of child abuse or neglect reports.

California AB1192 amends the Penal Code to require agencies to notify attorneys of child abuse or neglect reports. Specifically, when an agency receives a report alleging abuse or neglect of a child of a minor or nonminor dependent parent, the agency must notify the child's attorney within 36 hours. The agency must also send a copy of the report to the attorney who represents the parent or legal guardian of the child in dependency court. The bill would require the agency to redact personal identifying information of all persons, other than the child, who are identified in the report.
