Child abuse and neglect prevention and treatment program--HHS. Notice of proposed rulemaking.
This rule proposed changes in the regulations that implement the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act. Recent amendments to this Act (Pub. L. 98-457) made changes in several definitions regarding child abuse and neglect which may require State regulatory changes. These and other proposed requirements are the subject of this notice. On December 10, 1984 (49 FR 48160), the Department published a notice of proposed rulemaking to implement the requirement for State child protective service agencies to establish programs and/or procedures for the protection and treatment of disabled infants with life-threatening conditions ("Baby Does"). These requirements were also a part of Pub. L. 98-457.
