SB 325 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Alabama Youth Residential Facility Abuse Prevention Act; youth residential facilities, requirements to disclose allegations of abuse or neglect, further provided

SB 325 amends Alabama's Youth Residential Facility Abuse Prevention Act to strengthen oversight of facilities housing youth. It requires these facilities (including long-term care centers, boarding schools, and outdoor programs) to provide detailed registration information to the Department of Human Resources, maintain specific records, and disclose them during investigations. The bill mandates video surveillance in common areas with required retention periods and prohibits refusing law enforcement access during abuse or neglect investigations, with criminal penalties for violations. Facilities failing to comply face civil fines, directly affecting all youth residential facilities operating under Alabama law.
