Child Abuse Investigation Multidisciplinary Team Certification Amendment Act of 2025
This bill amends the District of Columbia's child abuse prevention law to define "CAC" (Children's Advocacy Center) as an accredited center under a District agreement and requires Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) investigating child abuse to coordinate through an accredited CAC when available. It mandates that the CAC provide the Council with annual documentation proving its accreditation by a national body. The bill specifies that the absence of an accredited CAC cannot delay or halt an investigation. These changes ensure accredited centers are prioritized in child abuse cases while maintaining timely investigative processes.
