Maryland HB1046 mandates schools to notify parents of suspected child abuse or neglect unless the parent is the subject of the report.

Maryland HB1046 requires schools to notify parents, guardians, or caretakers of a child if a mandated reporter identifies suspected abuse or neglect at a school or school-sponsored activity. The notification must occur within a specified timeframe. However, if the parent, guardian, or caretaker is the subject of the report, notification is not required. This bill amends the Education and Family Law Articles in the Annotated Code of Maryland.
