Family Law - Child Abuse and Neglect - Reporting

Hearing (House)

Feb 26, 2026

Summary

The bill changes Maryland law so that doctors, police, teachers and other mandated reporters must send abuse reports to the Department of Human Services rather than directly to local social services or police. The Department would keep a single electronic intake system, check each report for validity and then assign it to the appropriate local department for investigation. The change aims to streamline reporting and improve consistency in handling child protection cases.
