HI SB2575

Makes reporting of injuries reasonably believed to result from labor trafficking or prostitution discretionary rather than mandatory for certain medical personnel.

Removes proposed mandatory reporting requirement to local police department for suspected child abuse or neglect based on reasonable suspicion.

Removes proposed expansion of the definition of child abuse to include acts or omissions of any person or legal entity.

Applies physician-patient privilege to communications for diagnosis or treatment, but not to physician's direct observations of the patient.

Acknowledges that compulsory reporting can undermine patient-provider relationships and deter trafficking victims from seeking medical care.
