Requires child abuse reporting hotline maintained by DCPP to provide information on resources available to victims and families.
This bill amends New Jersey's child abuse reporting hotline requirement to ensure the Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCPP) provides callers with information about existing community resources for victims of child abuse or neglect and their families. It directs DCPP to share details on services like counseling, parenting programs, substance abuse treatment, and foster care that are already contracted through community agencies. The change applies to all calls to the emergency hotline, helping families access support more directly without creating new programs or altering service availability.
