Revise laws related to child abuse and neglect

This bill updates Montana's child abuse and neglect laws to strengthen family preservation and placement preferences for children in care. It requires the state to prioritize keeping children with extended family, fictive kin, or others sharing their cultural and religious heritage, while explicitly discouraging placements outside the United States. The legislation also mandates that before approving any placement, officials must check if anyone in the home has a criminal conviction involving serious harm to children. Additionally, the bill creates a voluntary registry to notify close relatives when a child is removed from their home, ensuring families stay connected during the process.
