Relating to the reporting of child abuse or neglect.

HB 1841 amends Texas law to clarify and strengthen reporting requirements for suspected child abuse or neglect. It defines "professional" to include teachers, nurses, doctors, daycare staff, and others who work with children in licensed settings, requiring them to report concerns within 48 hours. The bill explicitly prohibits professionals from delegating reporting duties and adds a new requirement to report if a professional believes an adult was abused as a child (when disclosure protects other children or vulnerable adults). These changes directly affect licensed professionals who interact with children in educational, healthcare, or child-care settings.
