Child Advocacy Centers - Continuity of Care Standards for Health Care Professionals and Reports of Violations

Summary

The legislation requires any person delivering medical or mental‑health services at a Maryland child advocacy center to be properly licensed or certified and to work within that scope. Each center must create a written continuity‑of‑care plan that notifies families when a provider changes and allows a proper hand‑off. Centers must also report any complaints about these standards to the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy for possible Attorney General investigation.
