AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES' ABUSE AND NEGLECT INVESTIGATIONS.

Summary

HB 5558 changes the law so that original abuse or neglect reports and investigator findings are not public records and are only shared with a victim’s legal representative unless that representative is suspected of the abuse. It also obligates the department’s commissioner to publish quarterly statistics on complaints, investigations, and outcomes, and to periodically review and update its investigation policies and background‑check procedures.
