Mandatory Reporting Law Changes and How They Affect the Faith Community

Mandatory Reporting Law Changes and How They Affect the Faith Community

Presented by Centenary Church at Centenary Church Fellowship Hall

Effective, July 1, the new changes to the mandatory reporting law will take effect. On May 2, 2012, Governor Nathan Deal signed into law a sweeping criminal justice reform bill–HB 1176.

In addition to the many reform measures in this legislation, this bill also expanded the pool of mandated reporters to a broad range of persons who work with children or volunteer with programs or organizations that serve children.

Faith communities, including clergy, were not excluded from this expansion. Penalties for not reporting suspected child abuse range from fines to jail time.

Is your faith community aware of these changes? Are you prepared to implement them?
