Vermont H0036 seeks to address the shortage of family forensic evaluators in complex child welfare cases.

Vermont H0036 proposes to request the Chief Superior Judge, the Office of Professional Regulation, and the Vermont Psychological Association to recommend strategies for increasing the availability of family forensic evaluators in the Family Division of the Superior Court. These evaluators, who are mental health professionals, assist in complex cases involving child welfare and parenting matters. The bill aims to identify the need, geographic distribution, and barriers to increasing these evaluators, as well as strategies to enhance their availability.
