Michigan SB1059 amends reporting requirements for suspected child abuse or neglect by school employees.

Michigan SB1059 amends the Child Protective Services Act to prioritize reports of suspected child abuse or neglect made by school employees. If a school employee suspects abuse or neglect, the Department of Health and Human Services must transmit a copy of the allegation or written report and the results of any investigation to a law enforcement agency. The bill also mandates that if a child care provider is involved in suspected abuse or neglect, the local law enforcement agency must send a copy of the report to the child care regulatory agency.
