Requires callers reporting suspected child abuse to leave their name and contact information; prohibits the release of such information without.

This bill amends the social services law to require callers reporting suspected child abuse or maltreatment to the central register to provide their name and contact information. It prohibits the office of children and family services from releasing information identifying a person who made such a report, except with that person's permission or as required by law. If a caller declines to provide their name and contact information, they will be connected with a supervisor who will inform them of the statutory provisions that protect callers' confidentiality.
