Action:
Amend CPS Regulation-2024 Legislation
Action 6510
General Information
| Action Summary |
Chapter 779 (SB 12) and Chapter 829 (HB 1128) of the 2024 Acts of Assembly establish that if, during a human trafficking assessment, it is determined that an interview of the child by a children’s advocacy center is needed and an interview with a children’s advocacy center within the jurisdiction cannot be completed within 14 days, the local department of social services (LDSS) may facilitate the interview with a children’s advocacy center located in another jurisdiction. Additionally, the term “child advocacy center” is replaced with the term “children’s advocacy center” in § 63.2-1505 of the Code of Virginia. As such, the regulation requires amendments to reflect these changes.
Chapter 662 (SB 39) and Chapter 629 (HB 27) of the 2024 Acts of Assembly establish the Parental Child Safety Placement Program to promote and support placements of children with relatives by LDSS in order to prevent entry into foster care. The regulation requires amendments to reflect the addition of §§ 63.2-1531 through 63.2-1536 to the Code of Virginia.
