Child Fatality Review Committee Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution (PR 26-0187) grants the Committee on Youth Affairs formal access to the Child Fatality Review Committee (CFRC) meetings and materials. It directly affects the Committee on Youth Affairs, which oversees the Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA), by enabling them to fulfill their oversight responsibilities. The key provision amends the CFRC's composition to include this committee, addressing a gap where they were previously denied access after taking over CFSA oversight in Council Period 26. This is a procedural change to improve committee coordination, not a policy shift on child fatality reviews.
