expanding requirements for reports to law enforcement by the department of health and human services.

Summary

The bill obligates New Hampshire’s Department of Health and Human Services to verbally notify an on‑duty police officer as soon as it learns of any suspected abuse or crime involving a child under 18, and to submit a written report within two days (excluding weekends and holidays). A copy of that written report must also be sent to the county attorney. The goal is to speed law‑enforcement response to serious child maltreatment.
