AN ACT to create and enact a new section to chapter 15.1-07 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to a child protective services and school district child safety liaison work group.

Changed from a single 'child protective services liaison' position to a 'child safety liaison work group' with equal representation from school districts and human service zones.

Added requirement for the work group to meet at least twice annually and submit reports by July 31st each year to the human service zone board, school board, and children's cabinet.

Removed specific requirements for individual liaison duties such as acting as a point of contact, assisting with student case investigations, and providing annual reports on case numbers and challenges.

Removed training requirements that mandated child protective services provide specific training to individual liaisons within six months of designation.

Shifted focus from individual liaison duties to broader child safety issues including roles and responsibilities, improved relations between agencies, and coordination of services for children and families.
