Description of Subjects/Issues House Bill 23-1157 was signed into law on April 17, 2023 which resulted in the addition of article 5.5, Uniform Unregulated Child Custody Transfer Act, to title 19. Rules around the Act are necessary to provide guidance to licensed providers around steps to take when it is suspected that an unregulated child custody transfer has occurred. Development of these rules were dependent upon recently passed legislation and as such, were not reliant upon data, studies or questionnaires. Unregulated Custody Transfer is known to be a problem across the United States, however, and as of 2022, approximately 17 states had enacted laws that prohibit Unregulated Custody Transfers according to the Children’s Bureau.

Comments CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet. The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule.
