Modifies provisions relating to abuse and neglect reporting, including a requirement to report companion animal abuse

SB 65 amends existing abuse and neglect reporting laws to require certain professionals - like teachers, healthcare workers, and child welfare staff - to report suspected abuse or neglect of companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats). This expands current mandatory reporting duties, which previously focused on human victims, to include companion animals. The bill directly affects mandated reporters by adding companion animal abuse to the list of incidents they must report to authorities. It does not change penalties or create new enforcement mechanisms beyond extending existing reporting obligations.
