HB 2270 -- SAFE CARE PROVIDERS

This bill allows child abuse medical resource centers and
providers receiving training from the Sexual Assault Forensic
Examination Child Abuse Resource Education (SAFE CARE) network to
collaborate with each other directly or through the use of
technology to promote improved services to children who are
suspected victims of abuse and need a forensic medical evaluation
by providing specialized training for forensic medical
evaluations for children in a hospital, child advocacy center, or
by a private health care professional without the need for a
collaborative agreement between the resource center and a SAFE
CARE provider.  The SAFE CARE network must develop
recommendations for medically based screening processes and
forensic evidence collection for emergency examinations of
children who are alleged victims of sexual assault and provide
those recommendations to SAFE CARE providers, child advocacy
centers, hospitals, and licensed practitioners who provide these
emergency examinations.
