HCS/HB 1169 – Under current law, if a school receives a report of child abuse arising from school personnel following the district's policy on spanking or the use of reasonable force to protect persons or property, the school superintendent or school board president must send a notice of the incident to the county juvenile officer. This act requires the notice to be sent to the law enforcement in the county. Also, under current law, the report of the incident must be investigated by a law enforcement officer designated by the juvenile officer. This act requires that the investigation be conducted by the law enforcement in the county.
This act is identical to a provision contained in CCS/SB 599 (2012).
