HB 23-1142

House Bill 23-1142, which has been signed into law, mandates that when someone reports suspected child abuse or neglect, they must provide their name, address, and occupation in every case. Previously, this information was only required if possible. This change affects anyone who reports such cases, ensuring full identification details are always included with the report. Since the bill is signed, it has become law and will be enforced as part of Colorado's child protection measures.

Official Summary

Current law requires reports of known or suspected child abuse or neglect to include the source of the report and the name, address, and occupation of the person making the report whenever possible. The bill requires a report of this information in all circumstances. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
