URGING THE LEGISLATURE TO CONDUCT MANDATORY INQUIRIES INTO ALL FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURIES THAT OCCURRED TO CHILDREN INVOLVED IN CHILD WELFARE SERVICES.

This is a House Resolution (HR 75), not a bill, urging the Hawaii Legislature to require mandatory inquiries into all child fatalities and serious injuries occurring within the state's child welfare system. It references numerous past cases (e.g., Reubyne, Peter Boy Kema, and Geanna Bradley) where systemic failures led to preventable harm, citing lawsuits and settlements. The resolution calls for the Legislature to mandate these reviews, rather than creating new legal requirements or policy changes. It serves as a formal request for oversight, not an enacted law.
