Authorizes disclosure by DCF of child abuse and neglect information to religious institutions.

Summary

The measure amends the state’s confidentiality law to list additional entities that can receive child abuse and neglect information from the Department of Children and Families, provided the disclosure is relevant and does not endanger anyone. It applies to child‑protective agencies, law‑enforcement, health professionals, courts, legislative committees, background‑check entities, and others. The bill also preserves the right to seek a court order if a request is denied.
