Requires DHS and DCF to employ Director of Medical Services; appropriates $480,000.

This bill creates two new full-time positions: a Director of Medical Services for the Office of Program Integrity and Accountability in the Department of Human Services (DHS) and a similar role for the Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit in the Department of Children and Families (DCF). These directors must be licensed physicians who will advise on complex medical aspects of abuse, neglect, and death investigations, provide expert testimony, and review medical practices at care facilities to improve outcomes. The bill appropriates $480,000 total ($240,000 per department) from the General Fund to hire these positions. It directly affects DHS and DCF operations and their oversight of investigations into abuse and neglect cases involving medical complexities.
