An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child protective services, further providing for persons required to report suspected child abuse and for employees having contact with children, adoptive and foster parents.

HB 1399 expands Pennsylvania's mandatory child abuse reporting requirements to include film industry workers. It adds to the list of mandated reporters any adult (paid or unpaid) reasonably expected to have direct contact with children during film production, as defined under the Tax Reform Code of 1971. The bill also requires these individuals to submit specific documentation to employers or supervisors before working with children on film sets, aligning them with existing requirements for other child-contact roles. This amendment applies to all film productions in Pennsylvania and takes effect 180 days after enactment.
