Synopsis As Introduced
Directs the Auditor General to conduct a performance audit on the Department of Children and Family Services to review and assess the Department's protocols for investigating reports of child abuse and neglect.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the heading. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced resolution with the following changes: Requires the audit to include a review of abuse and neglect investigations conducted by the Department of Children and Family Services in Fiscal Year 2015, Fiscal Year 2016, and Fiscal Year 2017 (rather than a review of each abuse and neglect investigation conducted by the Department within the past 5 years). Requires the Auditor General to compile a detailed report that includes a full summary on the number of lawsuits or other legal actions filed against the Department within the past 3 fiscal years that concern an abuse or neglect investigation and the number of lawsuits the Department settled within the past 3 fiscal years that concern an abuse or neglect investigation (rather than a detailed report that lists, by county, the information collected and examined under the audit, including a full summary on the number of lawsuits or other legal actions filed against the Department within the past 5 years that concern an abuse or neglect investigation and the number of lawsuits the Department settled within the past 5 years that concern an abuse or neglect investigation).
