§ 135. Cooperation of public welfare officials. 1. It shall be the duty of every public welfare official to render assistance and cooperate within his jurisdictional powers with every other public welfare official and with the family court and all other governmental agencies concerned with the health and welfare of persons under their jurisdiction.
2.
