Title

Children, dependency cases, testimony of child regarding sexual contact, admissible whether or not brought by Human Resources Department, Sec. 12-15-310 am'd.

Description

Existing law provides that certain statements by a child describing an act of sexual contact performed on the child that are otherwise not admissible in court may be admissible in dependency cases that are brought by the State Department of Human Resources acting through a local department of human resources.

This bill would remove the requirement that in order for statements of this nature to be admissible, the dependency case must have been brought by the Department of Human Resources.
