Require reporting of child abuse and neglect involving military families to military authorities and military family advocacy programs

LB 141 requires child welfare reporters (like teachers or healthcare workers) to notify military authorities and military family advocacy programs whenever child abuse or neglect is reported involving a military family member. This directly affects active-duty service members, National Guard/reserve members, and their dependents in Nebraska. The bill adds a new reporting step to existing child protection laws, ensuring military family advocacy programs are informed alongside standard child welfare agencies. It defines "military family" as active duty personnel or federal dependents, aiming to connect military families with specialized support services. (Note: This bill was amended into LB80 on June 6, 2025.)
