An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child protective services, further providing for exclusions from child abuse.
SB 1034 amends Pennsylvania's child protective services law to expand mandatory reporting requirements for certain child abuse offenses. It adds two specific crimes to the list that must be reported: "unlawful dissemination of intimate image" (18 Pa.C.S. § 3131) and "sexual abuse of children" (18 Pa.C.S. § 6312). This change directly affects mandated reporters (like teachers, healthcare workers, and social workers) who must now report these additional offenses under the law. The bill does not alter existing reporting obligations for other specified crimes like rape or sexual assault. It takes effect 60 days after enactment.
