AN ACT relating to child welfare investigations.

This bill would update Kentucky law governing how reports of suspected child abuse, neglect, or dependency are handled, adding specific requirements for record keeping and the steps agencies must follow when a report comes in. These changes aim to create clearer, more consistent procedures for managing child welfare investigations across the state. Who it may affect: children and families involved in abuse or neglect reports, child welfare caseworkers, and local and state agencies that receive and process those reports.
