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 the legislative text, the bill makes a specific amendment to Section 4604(a-1) of the original act by deleting the phrase "human services" and inserting "child and family services" in its place. This adjustment reflects a more focused approach to the committee's oversight responsibilities. The bill will take effect following approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, upon the Council's action to override the veto, and it is designed to remain in effect for no longer than 90 days as per the provisions for emergency acts.
