The "Sir Major White-Bullock Child Protection and Family Notification Act" aims to enhance child safety and intervention in cases of repeat prenatal drug exposure. The bill mandates the Department of Human Services (DHS) to initiate an enhanced child safety review when a parent has a second or subsequent drug-exposed infant. This review will include a comprehensive assessment of prior child welfare records and cumulative risk factors. The DHS is also required to notify qualified family members about the situation, unless a court determines that such notification poses an immediate safety risk. The act emphasizes the importance of engaging stable family members in the child welfare process to ensure the safety and well-being of affected infants.

Additionally, the bill establishes a tracking mechanism for repeat prenatal drug exposure cases and requires hospitals and birthing facilities to report drug-positive births to the DHS. Courts will receive summaries of prior DHS involvement in these cases and may order kinship placement evaluations and protective supervision. Importantly, the act clarifies that it does not criminalize pregnancy or substance use disorder, nor does it deny access to reunification services or eliminate parental rights without court findings. The DHS is tasked with promulgating rules and providing training related to the implementation of this act, which is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
