SENATE BILL NO. 122 "An Act repealing the authority for a child abuse or neglect citizen review panel in the Department of Health and Social Services; and establishing the Child Protection Citizen Review Panel in the office of the ombudsman." 2:10:33 PM Vice-Chair Bishop MOVED to ADOPT proposed committee substitute for SB 122, Work Draft 30-LS0047\R (Laffen, 4/3/18). Co-Chair MacKinnon OBJECTED for discussion. RYNNIEVA MOSS, STAFF, SENATOR JOHN COGHILL, discussed the bill. She stated that the main function of the bill was to transfer the review panel to the Legislative Branch under the Office of the Ombudsman. She stated that it was determined that there was a close tie between federal dollars through the Child Protection Act and the general fund dollars that were used to fund the review panel. There would have needed to have some creative accounting in order to move the panel. She stated that it was withdrawn, but required more accountability between the review panel and Office of Children's Services (OCS); and between the review panel and the legislature. The sections of the bill that transferred the review panel to the legislature were deleted. She stated that the bill would direct OCS to provide the panel with reasonably necessary professional and technical assistance. She related that it statutorily directed the panel to facilitate public participation in developing and implementing child protection policies and practices. She remarked that it also reinserted language that the panel be composed of volunteer members broadly representative of the state. It also adds a provision that at lease one member from each of the five administrative regions of OCS be on the panel. The bill also directed the panel to review policies and procedures of OCS on an annual basis, and to report those findings to the legislature. She stated that it adds a section that required the panel and the department to prepare a joint report to the governor, legislature, and public every three years. The report must include an assessment of the panel, any panel staff; and the responsiveness of OCS, and any constraints. Co-Chair MacKinnon WITHDREW her OBJECTION. There being NO OBJECTION, the proposed committee substitute was adopted. Co-Chair MacKinnon wondered what the bill was attempting to solve. Ms. Moss replied that the bill was intended to make a public awareness of the panel. She stated that the term "Child Protection Citizen Review Panel" was defined in the bill. There was also an attempt to make the panel accountable and a purpose that could benefit the legislature and OCS. 2:16:01 PM AT EASE 2:16:31 PM RECONVENED Co-Chair MacKinnon OPENED public testimony. Co-Chair MacKinnon CLOSED public testimony. SB 122 was HEARD and HELD in committee for further consideration. 2:17:25 PM AT EASE 2:18:45 PM RECONVENED
