An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in child protective services, further providing for definitions, for reporting procedure, for disposition of complaints received, for responsibility for investigation, for access to information in Statewide database, for information in Statewide database and for release of information in confidential reports.

SB 436 amends Pennsylvania's child protective services laws to specifically address cases involving military families. It adds definitions for "military family" (including service members, spouses, and children) and requires reports of suspected child abuse to note if they involve military families. The bill mandates that when a report concerns a military family, the state must notify both the Pennsylvania Family Advocacy Program and the military installation's representative. These changes update reporting procedures, database entries, and information-sharing rules to better coordinate with military child protection services.
