This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding the review of Department of Child Safety (DCS) information by legislators. Under current law, the DCS is required to arrange for a legislator to review files at an office of the department chosen by the legislator within ten working days of a request. The bill would update this provision by allowing legislators to review DCS information at a secure location within a legislative chamber, in addition to the existing option of a DCS office.

The specific change involves the insertion of language that permits the review of files at a secure location within a legislative chamber, replacing the current requirement that limits the review to a DCS office. This modification aims to enhance accessibility for legislators while maintaining the confidentiality of the information being reviewed.
