Requires all state and private agencies with mandatory reporters of incidents involving vulnerable people to retrain all staff on reporting to a 9-1-1 operator and the county district attorney's office

Summary

The bill amends New York’s Social Services Law so that anyone required to report abuse of vulnerable people must call 9‑1‑1, inform the county district attorney, and file a report in a new central register. It also orders every state and private agency with such reporters to retrain all employees on these reporting steps and replace old reporting materials. Failure to report can lead to criminal charges, termination, or civil liability, and retaliation against reporters is prohibited.
