Description
Child abuse in infants; time periods for testing and diagnosis. Eliminates (i) the requirement that a physician's determination of in utero child abuse be made within seven days of birth, (ii) the requirement that toxicology tests be administered to infants within 48 hours of birth, and (iii) the requirement that drug withdrawal in infants be diagnosed within 48 hours of birth. The bill also clarifies that any toxicology test, rather than just blood or urine, may be the basis of a physician's suspicion of abuse. Read the Bill »
