CA AB2282

Modifies the grounds for withholding family reunification services from parents or guardians by changing the violent felony conviction exception to apply only when the conviction is against a child, rather than any violent felony.

Expands the scope of parents who must be offered reunification services by narrowing an existing exemption, thereby imposing additional duties on county child welfare departments.

Declares that no state reimbursement is required for costs associated with this mandate to local agencies under the 2011 Realignment Legislation framework.
