What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill adds juvenile correctional officers to the list of professionals who must

report suspected abuse and neglect of children. Under the bill, a juvenile correctional

officer is a person whose principal job duty is the supervision of juveniles held in a

juvenile detention facility, a juvenile correctional facility, or a secured residential

care center for children and youth. A person who must report suspected child abuse

and neglect must do so if he or she has reasonable cause to suspect that a child seen

in the course of his or her professional duties has been abused or neglected or has

reason to believe that a child seen in the course of his or her professional duties has

been threatened with abuse or neglect and that abuse or neglect will occur. Mandated

reporters are subject to criminal penalties if they fail to report.
