AI Summary
This bill expands the list of mandatory child abuse reporters to include employees of tier II facilities and shelters that provide temporary housing to minors under 18 years old. Currently, the Social Services Law requires certain professionals like healthcare workers, teachers, law enforcement, and social workers to report suspected child abuse when they encounter it in their professional capacity. The bill adds employees of tier II facilities (which are typically specialized housing or support service facilities) and other shelters providing temporary housing to minors to this list of mandatory reporters. A tier II facility is a type of shelter or support service facility, often used for temporary housing or specialized support services. By adding these employees to the list of mandatory reporters, the bill aims to increase the number of potential child abuse cases that can be identified and reported, potentially providing additional protection for vulnerable children. The bill will take effect immediately, with specific amendments aligning with another recent legislative change. This expansion of mandatory reporting requirements reflects an ongoing effort to create more comprehensive child protection protocols.
