Child abuse or neglect: reporting.

Summary

The bill expands the reporting duties of agencies that receive child abuse or neglect reports, mandating that they forward a redacted copy of the report to the child's attorney and to the attorney representing the parent or legal guardian, unless the parent's rights are terminated or they are not eligible for reunification services. It also adds notification requirements for abuse or death reports involving licensed child‑care facilities and sets limits on state funding for any added costs.
