HB2175

Kansas HB2175 mandates notification of parents' rights during child abuse or neglect investigations and requires written reports upon investigation.

Kansas HB2175 amends the state's child abuse and neglect laws by requiring the secretary for children and families to notify parents of their rights when an investigation of abuse or neglect is initiated. This includes providing a written summary and verbal notification of the investigation's details and the parent's rights. If a child is removed from the home during the investigation, the parent can enter into an agreement with the secretary, which must be included in the child's case plan.
