Description:

LB 973 would provide for the option of an administrative hearing prior to one’s placement as “agency substantiated” on the Child Abuse and Neglect Central Register. The record would not be entered until 10 days after the subject receives notice of the pending placement. During this 10-day period, the subject could request an administrative hearing to contest placement on the register. This hearing would occur no sooner than 10 days and no later than 60 days following the hearing request. Within 10 days after the hearing, the hearing officer would prepare and deliver a final decision to each party and the director. This decision could be appealed in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
