An Act relative to the military family advocacy program, domestic violence and child abuse and neglect

Summary

The bill amends Massachusetts law so that when the Department of Children and Families accepts a domestic or child abuse report as credible, it must collect the alleged perpetrator’s military status and forward the information to the appropriate military family advocacy program under a memorandum of understanding. It also obligates DCF area directors to establish MOUs with local military installations to set reporting, identification, and confidentiality procedures.
