Child abuse and neglect reporting.

Summary

AB 970 would let Los Angeles County run a 2026‑2028 pilot that provides mandatory reporters with comprehensive training and an internet‑based tool that advises whether to file a child‑abuse report. Participants who complete the training, use the tool and follow its recommendation would be protected from civil or criminal liability for not reporting. The bill also requires a post‑pilot evaluation and expires in 2030.
