SUPPORT AB 930—Mandated Reporters

For Child Sexual Abuse—(by Assemblyman Dennis Mountjoy)

AB 930 will be heard in the Assembly Public Safety Committee on April 8. 

AB 930 would require all licensed medical personnel and their ancillaries and assistants to promptly report their knowledge, or reasonable suspicion, that a minor has contracted a sexually transmitted disease or is pregnant, to a law enforcement or child protective agency. 

Current law does not require all of the staff of physicians, for example receptionists or schedulers, to be mandated reporters of child abuse, such as statutory rape.  As a result many statutory rape cases go unreported, because the child either never sees a physician, or because the physician/abortionist does not have the same information as may have been revealed to the receptionist.

Please contact these members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee to ask for their support for AB 930:
