Just like every other constitutional right there are limitations.

It wasn’t just introduced, it passed out of committee. And I’m commenting about it because it’s what this whole post is about?

Yup I’m on here to spread a conspiracy by giving factual information about bills and the legislature when people make posts about it.

Anybody who is a “spiritual leader” counts under this bill so ministry leaders would count. It was amended in Committee to require clergy to report abuse even if the information came from confession.

They amended it to require clergy to report child abuse when admitted to in confession, like I said, but clergy are still exempt from testifying in court.

I’m referring to the child abuse/mandated reporter bill.

Confessional privilege still exists so I don’t think you’re correct.

No churches testified against it, the Catholic Church actually supported it

It just got amended in Committee to remove that exemption.

Nope! It’s been heard in committee and is eligible to be voted on in committee.
