HB-5516
AN ACT CONCERNING THE REMOVAL OF INDIVIDUALS FROM THE STATE CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT REGISTRY.
As Amended by House "A" (LCO 7138)
House Calendar No.: 451
OFA Fiscal Note
Explanation
The bill does not result in a fiscal impact to the Department of Children and Families (DCF). It restricts determinations of good cause for removal from DCF's child abuse and neglect registry to applicants that have filed a request for removal not earlier than five years after being placed on the registry and restricts removal from people required to register as a sexual offender with the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection. As the annual number of requests for removal from the registry are few (there were five in the past year), there are no savings associated with a minimal reduction in requests anticipated due to the bill.
House “A” added language restricting removal from the state child abuse and neglect registry from people required to register as a sexual offender with the Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection and did not result in a fiscal impact to the state or municipalities.
