An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child protective services, further providing for definitions.
HB 751 amends definitions in Pennsylvania's child protective services law to clarify key terms. It updates the definition of "founded report" to specify when a child abuse report is substantiated, removing an outdated reference to accelerated rehabilitative disposition and adding scenarios involving consent decrees in juvenile court. The bill also expands the definition of "school" to include private schools, nonpublic schools, institutions of higher education, and specific facilities like the Hiram G. Andrews Center. Additionally, it defines "student" as any child under 18 enrolled in these schools, ensuring consistent terminology for child protective services professionals.
