Statute Review Task Force
The Statute Review Task Force is a subcommittee of the Child Welfare Sub-PAC. The group is a collaboration of partners including legal and judicial partners, counties, lived experts and other agencies that come together to review and identify specific sections of the Children’s Code (Title 19), as well as other statutes related to human services (including but not limited to Title 24, 25.5 and Title 26) that could benefit from being updated, edited or repealed. This task force has been successful in working across agencies to develop legislative changes. The group will also have a short-term focus on discussing Medical decision-making authority.
