SB972

West Virginia SB972 establishes temporary restrictions on home instruction during child abuse or neglect investigations.

West Virginia SB972, also known as Raylee's Law, aims to protect children involved in child abuse or neglect investigations by temporarily restricting home instruction. If a child is under investigation and the alleged perpetrator is a custodial parent or guardian, they cannot initiate home instruction or resume it during the investigation. This restriction lasts until the investigation is closed or a court orders otherwise. The law ensures the child's safety and visibility during the investigation while not presuming guilt or permanently restricting home instruction.
