Clarifying the identifying information in mandatory reports of abuse or neglect of children and increasing the penalty for failing to report such abuse or neglect.

SB 102 clarifies the specific identifying information that must be included in mandatory reports of child abuse or neglect and increases the penalty for failing to report such incidents from a misdemeanor to a felony. The bill affects mandatory reporters, including medical professionals, teachers, child care workers, and mental health providers, requiring them to provide precise details when reporting to the secretary for children and families. It also amends coroner reporting procedures to ensure child death information is shared with the secretary for children and families following specific protocols for suspicious circumstances.
