CA AB366

Amends Section 11167.5 of the Penal Code to authorize disclosure of confidential child abuse reports to teachers and school administrators, but only regarding abuse reports filed by those specific individuals.

Maintains existing confidentiality protections for all child abuse and neglect reports, with violations remaining a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in county jail, a $500 fine, or both.

Adds a new category (paragraph 15) to the list of authorized recipients of confidential child abuse reports, allowing teachers and school administrators to access information about their own filed reports.

Declares the bill an urgency statute to take effect immediately, citing the need to address child deaths under child welfare agency supervision and recognize the unique role of teachers and school administrators in children's lives.
