Bill
HB 2601
Establishing a registry for child abuse and neglect to be maintained by the secretary for children and families, providing for registration and expungement processes that include administrative hearings and opportunities for subsequent appeals, requiring reports of abuse or neglect to include information regarding a custody dispute concerning the child who is the subject of the report and directing the secretary to submit a report to the legislature on such information.
Kansas creates a child abuse and neglect registry with registration, expungement, and appeal processes to balance child protection with due process rights.
