Abstract:
The 1965 General Assembly adopted portions of a Federal act developed by the U.S. Children's Bureau. It added two sections to the written law which varies from the federal law in three ways; mandatory reporting by doctors was not mandatory, abuse cases had to be reported to the County Director of public welfare and not police, and parents were still allowed to testify against a spouse in the case of child abuse.

Area representation refers to the principle of elected officials representing the greatest extent of individual communities within a population.
