This bill aims to revise child abuse and neglect laws by making permanent the requirement for additional notifications to be provided to a parent or legal guardian from whom a child is removed. The amendment specifically targets Section 41-3-301 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) to ensure that parents or guardians are adequately informed during the child removal process.

The bill emphasizes the importance of communication and transparency in child welfare cases, reinforcing the rights of parents and guardians to be notified about the circumstances surrounding the removal of their child. By codifying this requirement, the legislation seeks to enhance the support system for families affected by such interventions. The bill will take effect upon passage.
