B 26-0235 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Child Fatality Review Committee Emergency Amendment Act of 2025

This bill amends the Child Fatality Review Committee Establishment Act of 2001 to update terminology from "human services" to "child and family services" in the law. It directly affects the Child Fatality Review Committee and the Council committee overseeing the Child and Family Services Agency. The key change is a single terminology update to align the law with current agency naming conventions. As a procedural amendment, it does not create new policies or funding but ensures consistent language in District law. The bill is designated as emergency legislation with a 90-day expiration.
