AN ACT CONCERNING INFORMATION SHARING BETWEEN THE OFFICE OF THE CHILD ADVOCATE AND THE INFANT MORTALITY REVIEW COMMITTEE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

SB 766 permits the Office of the Child Advocate and Connecticut's Infant Mortality Review Committee (within the Department of Public Health) to share relevant information while following strict privacy rules. This bill directly affects these two state offices by enabling them to exchange data about infant mortality cases. The key provision removes barriers to sharing confidential information, allowing the committee to better analyze trends and risk factors in infant deaths. The goal is to improve the committee's ability to identify causes and develop effective strategies to reduce infant mortality rates in Connecticut.
