Relating to the reporting of child abuse or neglect.

HB 4928 amends Texas law to change how child abuse or neglect reports are submitted. It adds a new option allowing reports to be made directly to the state agency that operates, licenses, certifies, or registers the facility where abuse occurred (such as state-run group homes or childcare centers), in addition to reporting to law enforcement or the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. This change applies specifically to facilities under state agency oversight and takes effect September 1, 2025. The bill does not alter existing reporting requirements but expands the entities that can receive reports.
