Relates to training requirements for attorneys appointed to represent a child in certain proceedings

This bill requires attorneys appointed to represent children in certain court proceedings to complete specific training. All such attorneys must receive six hours of initial training and ongoing training as determined by the court. The training must cover domestic violence dynamics, juvenile delinquency law, and how these issues relate to custody, visitation, and child support decisions. It also mandates that training programs and providers receive approval from both the Office of Court Administration and the State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence.
