This bill amends Title 62A, Utah Human Services Code, Title 78A, Judiciary and Judicial Administration, and Title 78B, Judicial Code, relating to child welfare.
Specifically, one of the provisions prohibits taking a child into protective custody solely on the basis of educational neglect, truancy, or failure to comply with a court order to attend school.
If enacted, House Bill 237 would ensure that children cannot be removed from a Utah family's house for charges of truancy or educational neglect. This language is important to protect the rights homeschool families who may be wrongly charged with truancy or educational neglect to retain custody of their children.
