Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill HB 2292 remove two existing sections and expand the legislation to create nine new sections focused on reporting abuse and neglect, particularly aimed at protecting vulnerable adults. A key change is the establishment of the "Office of Special Investigations" within the Department of Health and Senior Services, which will assist law enforcement in investigating cases of abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

Any member who has knowledge that the member designated to report has failed to do so shall thereafter immediately make the report.

In addition to those persons and officials required to report actual or suspected abuse or neglect, any other person may report in accordance with sections 210.109 to 210.183 HCS HB 2292 5 if such person has reasonable cause to suspect that a child has been or may be subjected to abuse or neglect or observes a child being subjected to conditions or circumstances which would reasonably result in abuse or neglect.
