Relates to reporting allegations of child abuse or maltreatment that occurred to a resident of New York in another state

Summary

The bill amends New York’s child‑abuse reporting law so that any suspected abuse of a child who lives in New York, even if it happened in another state, must be reported immediately to the state’s central register and then forwarded to the agency with jurisdiction where the abuse occurred. It sets strict timelines, required information, and obligates reporters to provide records for investigations. The changes become effective right away.
