Require certain employees to report suspected child abuse and neglect

This bill (LC 3461) proposed requiring certain employees - such as teachers, healthcare workers, or childcare staff - to report suspected child abuse or neglect to authorities. It would have directly affected these professionals by creating a legal duty to report, similar to existing laws for mandated reporters. However, the bill never advanced beyond the drafting stage, as it was placed on hold in February 2025 and ultimately "died in process" by May 2025. No policy changes were enacted, as the bill did not become law.
