House Bill 1970 amends the Family Code to require that reports of suspected child abuse and neglect are to be made to the Department of Family and Protective Services whether or not the abuse involves a person responsible for the care, custody, or welfare of the child. The bill also adds the superintendent of a school district to the list of persons the department is required to provide with a written report of an investigation of child abuse and neglect alleged to have occurred in a public or private school under the jurisdiction of the Texas Education Agency.
