CA AB2869

Requires social workers conducting child abuse or neglect investigations to ascertain whether the child's parent, guardian, or the parent/guardian's spouse is a member of the Armed Forces

Mandates notification to the Family Advocacy Program at the military installation where the service member is stationed when an open investigation involves a military parent, guardian, or spouse

Designates this as a state-mandated local program but exempts it from state reimbursement requirements under the 2011 Realignment Legislation to the extent the state does not provide annual funding for the cost increase

Replaces previous bill language regarding foster care placement with new provisions focused on military family notification procedures
