Clarifies laws governing facilities for children and adults by updating investigation records, inspection duties, and licensing requirements.

This bill updates the laws governing the licensing and investigation of facilities for children and adults. It clarifies the requirements regarding confidential abuse and neglect investigation records, requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to inspect specialized children's homes instead of the State Fire Marshal or other public safety inspectors. The bill removes requirements for interagency licensing of children's homes between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education and for licensing of nursery schools. It also corrects a cross-reference.
