SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Child abuse and neglect training for mandated reporters. Requires mandated reporters to complete two hours of training regarding the identification and reporting of child abuse and neglect within one year of the establishment of the training program by the Department or within six months after other persons become mandated reporters. Training shall be obtained from an agency, institution or other public or private organization approved by the Department of Social Services to provide such training. The training shall include information regarding the physical and behavioral indicators of child abuse and neglect and the mandatory reporting requirements, including, but not limited to, when and how a report shall be made, what other actions the person is mandated or authorized to take, the legal protections afforded such persons and the consequences for failing to report. Mandated reporters shall provide the body authorized to license, register, accredit, hire, appoint or designate them with documentation verifying the completion of the required child abuse identification and reporting training program. The cost of obtaining the training shall be borne by the mandated reporter, unless the body authorized to license, register, accredit, hire, appoint or designate them, at its option, decides to pay such cost.
