Washington lawmakers are once again tackling the sensitive issue of mandatory reporting of child abuse and neglect by clergy members.
She added, “This bill doesn’t attempt to change that. It is merely so that clergy will go to authorities and ask them to check on that kid and find out if they are being abused or neglected.” “The first sentence says, ‘absolute freedom of conscience in all matters of religious sentiment, belief, and worship shall be guaranteed to every individual,’” Stokesbary said.
In 2024, a bill that would have made clergy mandatory reporters stalled due to disagreements between the House and Senate over this very issue. The House favored a version without exceptions, while the Senate leaned toward including protections for confessional communications.
