Relating to use of technology in child abuse and neglect investigations

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Human Services to start two pilot projects: one that contracts private entities to provide caseworker aide support in up to three‑county districts, and another that equips Child Protective Services workers in two counties with mobile devices for real‑time investigation reporting. The aim is to free up staff for direct family interaction and speed up data collection during abuse investigations. Results will be reported to legislative oversight committees.
