Bill overview
This bill changes the rules about when mental health professionals must share records with child protective services during investigations of child abuse or neglect. It requires mental health professionals to provide relevant records within 7 days of receiving a request from a caseworker, unless certain patient privacy protections apply. The bill also establishes immunity for professionals who comply with these requirements, and clarifies that this law doesn’t change existing reporting obligations for child abuse and neglect.
