Memorandum
De minimus costs may be associated with creation and/or updating the CPS rights booklet to be in compliance.
Parents and/or guardians in an abuse and neglect referral are currently entitled to records as long as parental rights have not been terminated.
The Department typically requests a customary fee of $0.25 a page. The bill does not specify if the department can or cannot charge.
The Department does not refer all abuse and neglect referrals to law enforcement, only those that rise to the level of a crime.
