The proposed bill aims to establish a new section in chapter 15.1-07 of the North Dakota Century Code, creating a child safety liaison work group that will focus on enhancing child safety within school districts and human service zones. The work group will consist of designated representatives from both the school district and the corresponding human service zone, ensuring equal representation. It is tasked with addressing key child safety issues, including the roles of child protective services and mandatory reporters, improving relations between the human service zone and school district, and coordinating services for children and families.

The bill outlines specific requirements for the work group, including a mandate to meet at least twice a year and to report annually to relevant boards and cabinets by July 31. The report must cover recommendations, proposed solutions, progress, training needs, and gaps in service coordination. Additionally, the human service zone is designated as responsible for coordinating the meetings of the child safety liaison work group.
