Kansas SB128 amends state laws to create exceptions to mandatory reporting obligations for licensed social workers when they work under the supervision of an attorney. Specifically, it exempts social workers from reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of adults if they are working under an attorney's supervision in a criminal, civil, domestic, or juvenile matter. Additionally, attorneys can require social workers to maintain the confidentiality of information in compliance with attorney-client privilege under these circumstances.
