As it did in 2018, the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) is tracking state legislation that contains the words “adverse childhood experiences” (ACEs). Trauma-related legislation that does not include those words is not included in the database. This link will take you to the Injury Prevention Legislation Database|Opioid Abuse Prevention page on the NCSL site to access the ACEs legislation database.
Under “Topics,” choose the fist topic listed (ACEs) and under “States,” choose “All States” or the specific state or states you are interested in. There are other search options listed at the bottom including the choice of ACEs bills in either 2018 or 2019.
While the full text is available through the online tracking service Lexis Nexis, you also might want to access a particular bill on your state’s legislative site. In some states for example, you can register to be notified by email if there is a change in the bill’s status.
