2006 House Bill 6443

Require expanded domestic violence reporting

Introduced in the House

Sept. 7, 2006

Introduced by Rep. Rick Baxter (R-64)

To require child protective services workers who are notified of a domestic violence incident in a household where children are present (per House Bill 6442) to cross-reference the case with the state's central registry of serious child abuse cases (to which House Bill 6444 would add less serious cases as well.) Inclusion in the central registry triggers more intense investigation and monitoring by the state.

Referred to the Committee on Families and Childrens Services
