Introduced Text

Montana SJ31 proposes an interim study on mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect.

Montana SJ31 calls for an interim study on mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect. The study aims to explore how consistent training can help mandatory reporters distinguish between when to support and when to report, minimizing reports based on discomfort or bias. It also seeks to identify steps for collecting information from children and families before reporting, explore alternatives to reporting, and recommend uniform training and alternative responses for mandatory reporters. The study's final results are to be reported to the 70th Legislature.
