HB 536 -- Reporting of Child Abuse Sponsor: Wright (137) This bill changes the laws regarding the reporting of child abuse or neglect. Currently, the name and address of an individual making a report of alleged abuse or neglect is confidential. The bill authorizes the publication of this information when it has been shown that the report was made with malicious overtones, with an intent to harass, or with knowledge that the report is false.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
