Description
In utero exposure to a controlled substance. Requires local departments of social services to collect information during a family assessment to determine whether the mother of a child who was exposed in utero to a controlled substance sought substance abuse counseling or treatment prior to the child's birth. The bill requires mandated reporters of suspected child abuse or neglect to make a report if they have reason to believe that a child was exposed in utero to a controlled substance or affected by such exposure. Under current law, mandated reporters are required to report such suspicions only if the controlled substance was not prescribed to the mother by a physician. Read the Bill »

Comments
Does the bill and the identical one (SB1086) provide funding for the mother who was accused of substance abuse,to honor these bills requirements to seek substance abuse counseling or treatment? Or does it put all the cost burden on the mother,and does the child go to the state if she loses custody-due to being poor?
