Requires publication of child near fatality reviews by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families.
The bill mandates that the Department of Children, Youth, and Families must publish reports on child near fatalities. These reports must be issued within 180 days of the incident, unless an extension is granted by the governor. The reports are subject to public disclosure and must be posted on the department's public website, with confidential information redacted as required by law. The department must also consult with the Office of the Family and Children's Ombuds and ensure that the fatality review team is composed of individuals with no prior involvement in the case.
