What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, certain persons having reasonable cause to suspect that a child seen in the course of professional duties has been abused must report that suspected abuse to the sheriff or police department or to the county department of human services or social services or, in Milwaukee County, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) or a child welfare agency under contract with DCF (collectively "agency"). Current law also permits any other person having reason to suspect that a child has been abused to make such a report.
Current law requires the sheriff or police department to refer to an agency all cases of child abuse reported to it in which a caregiver is suspected of the abuse or of facilitating or failing to take action to prevent the suspected abuse and all cases in which it cannot be determined who abused the child. Then, within 24 hours after receiving the referral, the agency must initiate a diligent investigation to determine if the child is in need of protection or services. Current law, however, permits, rather than requires, the sheriff or police department to refer to an agency a case in which a person who is not a caregiver of a child is suspected of the abuse of the child and permits, rather than requires, the agency to initiate a diligent investigation to determine if the child is in need of protection or services.
