To amend subpart 2 of part B of title IV of the Social Security Act to address child welfare involvement caused by reasonable childhood independence activities, to amend the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act to promote childhood independence, and for other purposes.

This bill would change federal child welfare and child abuse prevention laws to address situations where children are allowed to do things independently that are considered normal for their age. It appears to aim to prevent families from being investigated or flagged by child welfare agencies simply because parents let their kids have reasonable amounts of independence. No official summary is available for this bill.
