Senator Smallwood, Chair, called the meeting to order.
Senator Gardner, prime sponsor, presented Senate Bill 17-028. The bill requires the Colorado Department of Human Services (DHS) and county departments of human services to:
- collect information concerning the military affiliation of any person who has custody or control of a child who is the subject of an investigation of child abuse or neglect; and
- provide the command authority of a military installation with notice of, and information about, reports of known or suspected child abuse received concerning members of the armed forces, their spouses, significant others, or other family members who are assigned to that military installation.
The DHS and county department may enter into memoranda of understanding with the command authority of military installations to establish protocols for information sharing and for collaboration on the oversight of child welfare investigations involving military personnel and their family members. The military installation shall only use information shared about an investigation for its intended purpose and must maintain confidentiality of the information. The State Board of Human Services must promulgate rules for implementation of this bill.
Senator Gardner distributed amendments L.001 (Attachment A), L.002 (Attachment B), and L.003 (Attachment C) to the committee.
