HB 243 (2025)
Allow contact information in child abuse reports, criminalize malicious reports
This bill did not become law.
Allows a report of child abuse or neglect to include the name and contact information of the person making the report. This bill then makes it a misdemeanor to intentionally make false reports of child abuse and neglect "with malice or the intent to harm."
