HB2480

Kansas HB2480 exempts licensed social workers from mandatory reporting obligations when supervised by an attorney in certain cases.

Kansas HB2480 creates an exception to mandatory reporting requirements for licensed social workers when they work under the supervision of an attorney. Specifically, if a licensed social worker is supervised by an attorney providing representation in a criminal, civil, domestic, or juvenile matter, and the reasonable cause to suspect abuse, neglect, or exploitation arises solely in the course of that representation, the social worker is exempt from reporting such suspicions.
