HB 3001 is a narrow, procedural bill that extends the sunset date of the Child Death Review Board and prevents a lapse in its statutory authority. The bill does not expand the Board’s powers, create new mandates, or impose additional regulations on families or local entities. It maintains continuity for an existing review body focused on identifying systemic failures in child fatality and near-fatality cases related to abuse or neglect. Monitor Notes Future extensions should include performance metrics and outcome reporting to justify continued operation Board recommendations should remain advisory, not regulatory No expansion of data collection, inter-agency data sharing, or authority without legislative review Bottom Line HB 3001 is acceptable as introduced, but continued legislative oversight is warranted to ensure the Board does not evolve into an expanded regulatory or data-collection body beyond its original purpose.
