Generally revise laws relating to protective care

This bill revises Montana's child protective care laws to strengthen communication and procedural protections when children are removed from their homes. It requires anyone placing a child in protective care to notify prehearing conference facilitators within 24 hours and mandates a prehearing conference before any emergency protective services hearing. The legislation also clarifies parents' rights during removals, including the right to receive copies of affidavits, attend hearings, have support persons present, and request kinship foster care placement. Additionally, the bill addresses domestic violence situations by requiring departments to prioritize victim safety while protecting children, and prohibits placing removed children in jails.
