Prohibits Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit investigators from interviewing certain children without prior parental consent.

This bill (A1936) prohibits Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit (IAIU) investigators from interviewing children under age five in licensed child care centers, resource homes, or out-of-home care settings without prior parental consent. It directly affects parents or legal guardians of young children in these care settings by requiring their knowledge and consent before interviews occur. The key provision amends current regulations to mandate parental consent for these specific interviews, while allowing interviews of the child who is the subject of the investigation without consent. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
