Bill > B26-0235

This bill amends the Child Fatality Review Committee Establishment Act of 2001 by replacing the phrase "human services" with "child and family services" in the law's text, which appears to update the terminology related to the committee's composition or oversight. The bill is an emergency amendment, meaning it will take effect upon mayoral approval (or Council override of a mayoral veto) and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, as allowed under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The specific change suggests a technical update to align the language with the current name of the Child and Family Services Agency, potentially to ensure more precise referencing of the agency responsible for child welfare oversight. While the bill's language is brief, it indicates an intent to clarify or modernize the legal description of the committee's structure or oversight mechanism.
