Digest
SB 1196 modifies the procedures for adding names to the central child abuse and neglect registry. It requires a final order from an administrative hearing or a court before a name can be added, except in severe cases such as child abandonment, sexual abuse, or violent offenses. The bill also mandates written notice before adding a name and provides an opportunity for individuals to request a hearing before their inclusion in the registry.
