Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Expands the definition of the term "neglected child" to include any child who is subjected to an environment injurious to his or her health and welfare. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause and reinserts similar provisions with the following changes: Expands the definition of the term "neglected child" to include any child who is subjected to an environment which is injurious insofar as (i) the child's environment creates a likelihood of harm to the child's health, physical well-being, or welfare and (ii) the likely harm to the child is the result of a blatant disregard of parent or caretaker responsibilities (rather than any child who is subjected to an environment injurious to his or her health and welfare). Defines the term "blatant disregard" to mean an incident where the real, significant, and imminent risk of harm would be so obvious to a reasonable parent or caretaker that it is unlikely that a reasonable parent or caretaker would have exposed the child to the danger without exercising precautionary measures to protect the child from harm. Effective immediately.
