Specific Medical Diagnoses in Child Protective Investigations

Summary

The bill changes Florida's child‑protective investigation rules so that if a parent says a child has a listed medical condition—rickets, Ehlers‑Danlos, osteogenesis imperfecta, or vitamin D deficiency—the agency can hold off forwarding criminal allegations to police until the investigation ends. It also adds duties for parents, requires medical record requests, and lets parents request a second medical opinion at their own cost.
