House delays 40 percent child abuse reporting bill
Senate sponsor Sen John Knuppel says he will not let the issue fade as the House shelves the 40 percent weekend holiday coverage bill for DCFS. The department opposes the rule, arguing it would force nonworkers into weekend shifts and would amount to overkill while DCFS already handles about 4 percent of reports on weekends.
