Plain-English Summary

This bill requires the Department of Child Services to investigate reports of child abuse or neglect, even if one parent is considered a "protective parent." The department can take actions like creating safety plans or recommending changes to parenting orders if there's a risk to the child. The bill also mandates that the department annually report on cases where they chose not to intervene and the reasons why.
