AR SB307

Amends the definition of "neglect" to exclude refusal to consent to non-court-ordered drug tests and admission of past drug use by parents, guardians, custodians, or foster parents

Prohibits the Department of Human Services from drug testing alleged offenders during child maltreatment investigations unless the test is court-ordered or written consent is obtained

Requires the department to provide a written consent form and allows it to petition the court for a drug test order if the alleged offender refuses to sign the consent form

Establishes that refusal to consent to a voluntary drug test is insufficient basis for child removal, but failure to comply with a court-ordered test is sufficient basis for removal

Makes drug test results inadmissible in court if the department fails to follow its testing policy; repeals prior law making child maltreatment investigation reports automatically admissible in evidence
