Arizona SB1174 amends the Department of Child Safety's intake hotline procedures and report requirements.

Arizona SB1174 amends the Department of Child Safety's centralized intake hotline to include standardized assessment tools for determining the severity of suspected abuse or neglect, and whether criminal conduct is involved. The hotline must record communications, identify prior communications, and provide information to law enforcement or prepare a report as necessary. A DCS report must include details such as the child's and suspect's contact information, the nature of the abuse or neglect, and any prior abuse history.
