Relating to investigations of child abuse involving the child's parent; and declaring an emergency.

Replaced detailed list of parental rights (including right to attorney, court-appointed counsel, and refusal of home entry) with a single requirement that DHS representatives disclose they are not attorneys.

Added new subsections clarifying how joint investigations between DHS and law enforcement must differentiate their activities.

Added language stating that nothing in the amendments should be inconsistent with existing ORS statutes and chapter 419B.

Changed bill status from 'A-Engrossed' (Senate version) to 'B-Engrossed' (House version) with updated ordering dates.

Changed when DHS must provide notice to parents from 'before a face-to-face meeting' to 'before commencing the first interview or face-to-face meeting' to ensure notice is given earlier in the process.

Modified the notice language requirement from 'Be advised in writing of the outcome of the investigation' to 'Be advised in writing if the outcome of the investigation is founded' to clarify that written notification is only required when the investigation substantiates abuse.

Changed the administrative review right from 'Request an administrative review of the outcome' to 'Request an administrative review if the outcome of the investigation is founded' to align with when written outcomes are provided.

Removed a blank line and updated bill version references from 'SB 736' to 'A-Eng. SB 736' to reflect the amended version status.
