Establishes provisions relating to reports of child abuse or neglect

Summary

The bill would have the Department of Social Services maintain a central, confidential database of substantiated child abuse and neglect reports. It allows limited sharing of that information with prosecutors, courts, other states, and certain volunteer programs, while protecting privacy and imposing penalties for unauthorized disclosure. The measure also authorizes a modest search fee and requires the department to issue detailed rules.
