SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Child abuse and neglect investigations. Requires all mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect who maintain a record on the alleged victim to make information, records and reports that are relevant to the investigation available to the child protective services investigator. The bill adds immunity from civil or criminal prosecution or administrative penalty or sanction for persons providing information or records in good faith. Both amendments parallel provisions already existing in the adult abuse reporting statute. The bill also clarifies that this information may be provided irrespective of the prohibition against disclosing communications between physicians and patient. Finally, the bill has technical amendments.
