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

Summary

The bill mandates that any mental‑health or medical professional working for a child advocacy center be properly licensed or certified and deliver services within that scope. Each center must create a continuity‑of‑care plan that notifies families of provider changes and allows a termination session. It also requires centers to report complaints to the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy, which must publish compliance and complaint information annually.
