The Senate Resolution, introduced by Senator Barrow, calls for the Division of Administration's Office of Technology Services (OTS) to establish a working group that includes all state agencies responsible for child safety, welfare, and protection. The purpose of this group is to enhance the use of technology in tracking reports of child abuse and neglect, thereby improving communication and data sharing among agencies. The resolution emphasizes the importance of maximizing the capabilities of OTS, which was created to streamline IT services across state agencies, and highlights the need for better collaboration to ensure the safety and welfare of children in Louisiana.

The working group is tasked with meeting regularly and providing quarterly reports to the legislature on its activities, findings, and results. This initiative aims to foster a more coordinated approach to child protection through improved technological solutions, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness of state agencies in safeguarding children. The resolution underscores the critical nature of effective data sharing and communication in preventing child abuse and neglect, suggesting that such improvements could have significant implications for the lives of vulnerable children in the state.
