SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Child protective services; school employees.  Provides that if, after an investigation of a child protective services complaint, the local department of social services determines that  the actions or omissions of a teacher, principal, or other person employed by a local school board or employed in a school operated by the Commonwealth were within such employee's scope of employment and were taken in good faith in the course of supervision, care, or discipline of students, then the standard in determining if a report of abuse or neglect is founded is whether such acts or omissions constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The bill contains technical amendments.  This bill is identical to SB 1243.
