The Child Fatality Review Committee Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Child Fatality Review Committee Establishment Act of 2001 by revising the composition of the committee. Specifically, it replaces the phrase "human services" with "child and family services" in section 4604(a-1) to ensure that the relevant Council committee overseeing the Child and Family Services Agency is included in the committee's composition.

This amendment aims to enhance the effectiveness of the Child Fatality Review Committee by ensuring that it includes representatives who are directly involved with child and family services, thereby improving oversight and accountability in addressing child fatalities. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
