Child Protection Ombudsman Amendments

Summary

The bill lets the child protection ombudsman accept complaints that involve a parent and requires the office to post clear information about parents' and children's rights on its website. It also obligates police officers or child‑welfare caseworkers who place a child in protective custody to promptly inform the child's parent or guardian about the ombudsman and their procedural rights. Finally, the ombudsman must file an annual report with legislative oversight panels.
