An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child protective services, further providing for definitions.

HB 1368 amends Pennsylvania's child protective services laws by adding two key definitions to Title 23. It defines a "General protective services report" as one concerning risks from non-abuse circumstances (like lack of parental care or truancy), and specifies what makes such a report "valid" based on six concrete conditions (e.g., abandonment, school truancy, or a child under 10 committing a crime). This bill directly affects child welfare workers who file reports and families subject to these reports. The changes clarify when reports meet legal standards, aiming to standardize how child safety concerns are assessed under Pennsylvania law.
