(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.) (Sec. 1) This bill directs a member of the Armed Forces, a civilian Department of Defense (DOD) employee, or a contractor employee working on a military installation who is required by federal regulation or state law to report known or suspected instances of child abuse and neglect to make the report directly to State Child Protective Services or another appropriate state agency in addition to the member's or employee's chain of command or any designated DOD point of contact. DOD shall ensure that such individuals receive appropriate training in accordance with state guidelines to improve their: (1) ability to recognize evidence of child abuse and neglect, and (2) understanding of mandatory reporting requirements.

Meetings with House and Senate Members and staff to oppose a provision in HR 3894, "To amend title 10, United States Code, to require the prompt notification of State Child Protective Services by military and civilian personnel of the Department of Defense required by law to report suspected instances of child abuse and neglect," ("Talia's Law") which would require double reporting of suspected child abuse and neglect by DOD personnel to both DOD authorities and civilian authorities. We believe that this will lead to double investigations of abuse and neglect, weakening state CPS agencies. We also lobbied against this provision that was included in Section 541 in the House FY 2017 NDAA, HR 4909. We have met with Senators and their staff to urge that this section not be included in the Senate FY 2017 NDAA. Now that this section was included in the NDAA in both the House and Senate versions, we are working to make sure that our Report language specifying that this should not be used to conduct double investigations on families remains in the final bill. HSLDA is also opposing the provisions in the Senate's version of the NDAA that require women to register with Selective Service. HSLDA believes that this expansion of Selective Service could lead to an expansion of the draft.
