HB 2039 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

clergy; priests; duty to report

HB 2039 is a definitional amendment to Arizona Revised Statutes § 8-201, not a new duty-to-report law for clergy. It revises definitions related to child abuse, neglect, and legal terms (e.g., clarifying "abuse" to include specific sexual offenses and "child" as under 18). The bill does not impose new reporting obligations on clergy or alter existing mandatory reporter requirements. This procedural update focuses solely on refining legal terminology in child welfare statutes, with no direct impact on clergy or new policy changes.
