Senate Bill 1447 amends the Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to develop a training program for each person who investigates any instance of suspected child abuse or neglect at the state or local level and the person's investigative supervisor. The bill sets out the requisite topics of instruction and requires DFPS to administer to each investigator and investigative supervisor an examination to test the individual's knowledge and competency of the information provided in the training program. An individual may not be assigned to investigate or supervise the investigation of any case until they successfully complete the training program and pass the examination.
