Due to Senate Bill 41, new requirements for mandatory reporters will take effect on August 1, 2025. An updated Mandatory Reporter course reflecting these changes will be released on that date.

The current version of the course will remain available through July 31, 2025.
Please consult with your own organization to understand how these new requirements may impact you and any additional training expectations they may have.
