Summary
The amendment adds a responsibility to child protective investigators (CPIs). CPIs must determine whether a person alleged to have maltreated a child works in an institutional setting or holds a professional license. In cases where the caregiver is found responsible for abuse, neglect, or abandonment, the CPI must contact the Florida Abuse Hotline if he/she determines that there is credible evidence that children or vulnerable adults within the caregiver’s employment may be at risk of maltreatment.
