2004 House Bill 6210

Revise child abuse reporting standard

Introduced in the House

Sept. 15, 2004

Introduced by Rep. Fulton Sheen (R-88)

To revise the language of a law that requires the state to investigate cases of severe physical injury to a child requiring medical treatment or hospitalization. The current standard is an injury that “seriously impairs the health or physical well-being” of a child. The bill would change this to any severe injury that threatens the life of a child.

Referred to the Committee on Families and Childrens Services
