A new bill introduced by Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) last month would establish a pilot program to test the use of predictive analytics in identifying and protecting children who are at risk of maltreatment.
The bill, “Using Data to Help Protect Children and Family Act,” would set aside $10 million for the Department of Health and Human Services to work with five states or tribes to implement predictive analytics tools. Entities would be required to apply with a description of their research methodology and its limitations.
