FAMILY JUSTICE CENTERS ACT

Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. In specified lists that include law enforcement, adds references to the Department of Children and Family Services. Provides that, if Department of Children and Family Services personnel are present on site at a Family Justice Center, they shall only interact with a survivor receiving services from the Family Justice Center upon the survivor's request. Provides that each Family Justice Center shall consult with certain types of statewide and local community-based agencies (rather than just certain types of community-based agencies). Makes changes to provisions concerning the survivor consent policy required for each Family Justice Center. Deletes a provision specifying that a Family Justice Center is not required to obtain consent before sharing information obtained from a survivor with a mandated reporter, a peace officer, or a member of the prosecution team if that person is required by law to report or disclose specific information or incidents. Makes other changes.
