AN ACT RELATING TO DELINQUENT AND DEPENDENT CHILDREN -- PROCEEDINGS IN FAMILY COURT

Summary

The law amends the family‑court code to make every state, town, municipal department and school district responsible for cooperating with the court by providing any information it asks for about a child. It covers agencies such as the Department of Children, Youth & Families, health, human services, education, substance‑abuse, behavioral health, developmental disabilities, and hospitals. The goal is to give family courts better access to data needed in cases involving delinquent or dependent children.
