Generally revise laws related to reporting of child abuse and neglect
This bill revises Montana laws to update how child abuse and neglect reports are handled, primarily affecting mandated reporters and public safety communications officers. It changes reporting procedures to direct reports to public safety communications officers, updates the definition and certification requirements for public safety communications officers, and modifies intake processes for abuse reports. The legislation also grants rulemaking authority to relevant agencies and amends multiple sections of the Montana Code Annotated to reflect these changes while addressing unfunded mandate concerns.
