Summary

The bill expands West Virginia’s mandatory‑reporting law so that doctors, teachers, clergy, police and other designated adults must notify the Department of Health and Human Resources and, when serious abuse is suspected, also alert state and local police. It also obliges schools to give employees written notice of the rule and obtain their acknowledgment.
