Specific Medical Diagnoses in Child Protective Investigations (HB47)

Score:

82

%

Florida

2026

This bill changes how Florida investigates child abuse cases when certain medical conditions could explain injuries. The Department of Children and Families (DCF) may delay notifying law enforcement if a parent reports a diagnosis or requests a medical exam, but must notify police later if criminal activity is still suspected. Child protection teams must consult pediatric specialists for conditions like rickets or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Parents can seek second medical opinions, all medical professionals must provide written reports within five days, and DCF must meet with all parties if opinions differ. The bill also streamlines DCF’s access to medical records for thorough investigations.
