Child abuse reports; name of the reporter shall not be confidential.

SB 2460 requires that the name of anyone reporting suspected child abuse (such as teachers, doctors, or social workers) must be included in official reports to Mississippi's child protection services and youth courts, ending previous confidentiality protections for reporters. This change directly affects mandatory reporters and agencies handling abuse cases, as their identities must now be disclosed in reports rather than kept secret. The bill amended Mississippi Code § 43-21-353 to specify that reporter names are "not confidential," aligning with related provisions. The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
