Establishing standards for civil proceedings and unprofessional conduct involving child abuse and domestic violence.

SB 5532 requires mandatory training for court personnel handling child abuse and domestic violence cases, including judges, guardians ad litem, and mediators. It mandates 20 hours of initial training and 15 hours every five years, covering all abuse types (sexual, physical, psychological), trauma, bias, and evidence-based best practices. The bill also updates guardian ad litem appointment procedures to ensure qualified personnel are selected through a rotational registry system. These changes aim to improve court decisions in child welfare cases by standardizing education and oversight.
