As introduced, Bill 26-400 would update the statutory definition of neglect and clarify that the Child and Family Services Agency shall not use a parent or guardian’s eligibility or use of public benefits as the sole evidence that parental failure is unrelated to neglect. It would also clarify that homelessness or lack of stable housing shall not be used as sole evidence of neglect.
