Clergy Reporting Requirements

The "Clergy Reporting Requirements" bill aims to mandate clergy members to report instances of child abuse or neglect that they become aware of during their duties. The bill requires clergy to report such cases to the appropriate authorities, thereby strengthening protections for children and ensuring timely intervention in cases of abuse or neglect. This legislation seeks to hold clergy accountable for reporting these incidents and contributing to safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
