HB 3348 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to child support.

HB 3348 requires child support program employees in Oregon to report suspected child abuse, expanding the list of mandatory reporters under state law. This affects staff working for the Oregon child support program who must now report abuse under the same legal standards as other professionals like teachers and healthcare workers. The bill amends Oregon law to include these employees in the definition of "public or private official" required to report abuse, covering physical, sexual, emotional, and neglect-related harm as defined in ORS 419B.005. The policy change, effective January 1, 2026, aims to strengthen child safety by broadening the network of individuals authorized to report abuse.
