Bill 19-466 would amend the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Act of 1977 to conform to the requirement
of the federal Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act Reauthorization Act of 2010 (“CAPTA Reauthorization
Act”). The proposed legislation would make the following changes:
- Not require the Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) to make reasonable efforts to reunify or
preserve the family if a parent has committed certain crimes against a child or if the parent must
register with a sex offender registry;
- Require health care professionals to notify the CFSA when a child under 12 months of age is diagnosed
with a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD); and
- Expand and clarify the definition of neglect to include an infant that has been diagnosed with FASD.
