Senate Bill No. 126, Public Act No. 24-92, is an act concerning home visits and evaluations conducted by the Department of Children and Families (DCF). The bill defines a "safety plan" as a strategy established by the DCF to address or mitigate unsafe behaviors, conditions, or circumstances in a home that may endanger children. The safety plan includes identifying actions to address these issues, specifying responsible individuals or providers, and setting time frames for the department to review these actions.

The bill stipulates that when the Commissioner of Children and Families, or their designee, carries out a home visit or evaluation as part of a safety plan, it must be conducted in person. However, an exception is made if any resident of the home is under an order of quarantine or isolation as per section 19a-131b of the general statutes. In such cases, the visit or evaluation may be conducted using telephonic, video, or other conferencing platforms. This act is effective from July 1, 2024.
