Domestic relations; revise mandated reporting of child abuse

Summary

The bill updates Georgia’s child‑abuse reporting statute by defining terms such as abandonment, emotional abuse, prenatal abuse and labor servitude, and by specifying what must be reported, who must report, and how reports are submitted through a secure web platform. It also grants reporters immunity from liability, sets penalties for failure to report, and outlines related enforcement and fee provisions. The measure was passed by both chambers but was vetoed by the governor.
