IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
As discussed by telephone, the DIRB has
requested copies of child protection legislation from social
services' departments of four states: Georgia, Massachussetts, New
York and Oregon. Copies of the pieces of legislation will be
forwarded to you immediately upon receipt by the DIRB.
The Child Protection Service of Georgia
advised the DIRB that the children's protection system is being
overhauled in that state, and three new pieces of legislation
related to the subject are expected to become law by the end of
March 1993. The Child Protection Service will wait until the end of
the month before sending the DIRB a copy of the new laws.
