The Child Fatality Review Committee Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the existing Child Fatality Review Committee Establishment Act of 2001 by revising the committee's composition. Specifically, the bill proposes to include relevant individuals from the Council of the District of Columbia who have oversight responsibilities over the Child and Family Services Agency. This change is intended to enhance the committee's effectiveness in reviewing child fatalities by ensuring that those with pertinent oversight are involved in the process.

In terms of specific legal language changes, the bill amends Section 4604(a-1) of the original act by deleting the phrase "human services" and replacing it with "child and family services." This adjustment reflects a more focused approach to the committee's oversight and responsibilities. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Mayor or following a Council override of a potential veto, and it is designed to remain in effect for no longer than 90 days as per the emergency act provisions.
