SB 1145 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 35 (Health and Safety) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, establishing the Compliance Review and Reporting Program; imposing duties on the Department of Health and the Department of Human Services; and imposing penalties.

SB 1145 establishes a Compliance Review and Reporting Program to ensure healthcare facilities serving children comply with mandatory reporting laws for suspected sexual abuse or exploitation. It requires the Pennsylvania Department of Health to review facility records during inspections, verify that required reports were filed with child protective services, and confirm reports match patient encounters with the Department of Human Services. Facilities failing to report must have the names of non-reporting mandated healthcare workers recorded, while non-compliant facilities will be publicly listed on the Department of Health’s website (without victim or reporter details). The bill directly affects hospitals and healthcare facilities licensed to provide child medical care, aiming to strengthen enforcement of existing child abuse reporting requirements.
