Relating to a screening for the risk of commercial sexual exploitation of certain children.

Contracts

• SSCC Master Agreements: Expect amendments incorporating the "45-day screening completion rate" as a performance metric.
• IT Vendor Agreements: Third-party case management software (e.g., extendedReach, Casebook) requires immediate change orders to add specific data fields matching the CSTPU-selected tool for export to the state IMPACT system.

Hiring/Training

• Certification: Case managers and intake specialists must be trained and certified on the specific tool selected (likely the *Commercial Sexual Exploitation-Identification Tool* or CSE-IT).
• Job Descriptions: Update qualifications for Intake Coordinators to require "CSE Risk Assessment Certification."

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• The 45-Day Hard Stop (DFPS): Intake workflows must mandate screening completion no later than the 45th day of conservatorship.
• Pre-Disposition Gate (Juvenile): Case files cannot be cleared for disposition hearings without a completed screening recorded in the file.
• Justification Logs: For children under 10 (or outside the tool's standard age range), staff must document specific behavioral "concerns" that triggered the screening to justify the clinical decision.

Fees & Costs

• Training Costs: While the state plans to outsource training in FY2026, providers needing immediate compliance may incur costs for private training on the CSE-IT.
• IT Integration: Budget for software development hours to bridge internal systems with the upgraded IMPACT reporting requirements.
