A bill requiring child welfare agencies to release much more information
about children in their care who die or are critically injured appears
to be well on its way to becoming law in Nevada.

The measure has moved to the state Senate for final legislative action.
From there it goes to Governor Jim Gibbons for his signature.

The bill was introduced by Assembly Speaker Barbara Buckley in response
to a study that found 11 children died of abuse while in the protective
custody of the Clark County Department of Child and Family Services
between 2001 and 2004.

A state Department of Health and Human Services analysis found another
79 deaths of children during the 2001-04 period should have been
investigated by Clark County Family Services, but were not.
