HB 1216 expands South Dakota's list of mandatory child abuse reporters to include people in "safety-sensitive positions" (as defined elsewhere in state law), meaning more professionals must now report suspected child abuse or neglect. The bill also clarifies that certain confidentiality protections cannot be used to avoid reporting child abuse in court proceedings.
