Bill overview
This bill proposes a two-year pilot program in Los Angeles County to improve how mandated reporters handle reports of child abuse and neglect. It aims to provide better training and a decision-support tool to help reporters make more informed and equitable decisions. The tool would recommend whether to report, consult, or take no action, while avoiding predictive analysis. Importantly, reporters who utilize the training and tool would be protected from liability for failing to report, fostering greater confidence in the reporting process.
