Summary

Existing law requires a mandated reporter, as defined, to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect to a police department or sheriff's department, not including a school district police or security department, a county probation department, if designated by the county to receive mandated reports, or the county welfare department. Existing law requires those agencies, except for a police department or sheriff's department, to forward to the Department of Justice, as specified, a written report of a case of child abuse or severe neglect that the agency investigates and determines is substantiated. This bill would additionally authorize a mandated reporter to make those reports to a school district police department. This bill would except a school district police department from the requirement to forward a substantiated report to the Department of Justice. By imposing additional duties on a school district, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
