Children: protection; mandatory reporting requirements for school employees or individuals who are assigned to regularly and continuously work under contract at a school; provide for. Amends sec. 3 of 1975 PA 238 (MCL 722.623).

HB 6191 amends Michigan's Child Protection Law to clarify and expand mandatory reporting requirements for school employees and individuals assigned to work under contract at schools. The bill requires these individuals, along with other professionals like teachers and counselors, to immediately report suspected child abuse or neglect to centralized intake by telephone or online, followed by a written report within 72 hours. It also mandates that reporters notify their school or agency leadership about the report and protects them from dismissal or penalties for making good-faith reports. Additionally, the bill specifies that the Department of Health and Human Services must share investigation results with law enforcement if the suspected abuse involves methamphetamine or was committed by non-caregivers such as clergy or youth program staff.
