Assembly Bill 1000 proposes to amend various sections of Wisconsin statutes to change the name of the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board (CANPB) to the Strengthening Families Board. This rebranding reflects a broader focus on family support and prevention strategies. The bill outlines that the newly named board will continue to conduct activities related to the prevention of child abuse and neglect, including awarding grants for public awareness and education programs, as well as administering statewide projects aimed at these issues.

The amendments include specific changes to statutory references, replacing "Child abuse and neglect prevention" with "Strengthening families" in multiple sections, including the board's creation, appropriations, and consultation requirements for rule promulgation. This change aims to enhance the board's mission and visibility in promoting family well-being and preventing child abuse and neglect. The bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Children and Families for further consideration.
