AZ SB1395

Replaces "reasonable grounds" standard with "probable cause" for court-ordered temporary custody of children to protect them from abuse or neglect.

Requires independent probable cause to exist before a sibling can be taken into temporary custody along with another child.

Defines "exigent circumstances" allowing peace officers and child welfare workers to take temporary custody without a court order when probable cause exists that a child faces serious harm and no less intrusive alternative exists.

Specifies that children taken into custody for suspected sexual abuse or serious physical injury must be examined by a licensed physician or health care provider with child abuse training, with temporary custody limited to 12 hours unless abuse is confirmed.

Permits peace officers to use reasonable force to enter buildings to execute temporary custody removal orders, and maintains prohibition on holding children in police stations or jails with adult or juvenile offenders.
