Bill Summary
RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE JUDICIARY CONDUCT A STUDY ON THE NECESSITY OF MANDATORY REFERRALS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES FOR INVESTIGATION OR INTERVENTION IN ALL CASES OF ALLEGED DOMESTIC ABUSE INVOLVING A FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD MEMBER WHO IS A MINOR OR INCAPACITATED PERSON. .
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution requests the Judiciary, which refers to the court system, to study whether it is necessary to automatically send all cases of alleged domestic abuse involving a child or an incapacitated person to the Department of Human Services (DHS) for investigation or intervention. Currently, when a parent seeks a restraining order due to domestic abuse in a household with a child, the court is already required to refer the case to the DHS for child welfare services. Judges also have the discretion to refer cases to the DHS if they believe it's needed for the family's safety and well-being. The resolution suggests that making these referrals mandatory in every instance might not be necessary, hence the call for a study to determine the best approach. The Judiciary is asked to report its findings and any proposed legislative changes to the Legislature by a specific date.
