Requires local child protective services to notify appropriate military personnel when a member of the armed forces is the subject of a report of child abuse or maltreatment; allows military law enforcement personnel to inquire of local child protective services whether any member of the armed forces is the subject of an indicated report on file with the statewide central register of child abuse and maltreatment.

This bill requires local child protective services in New York to inform military personnel when a service member is reported for child abuse or maltreatment. It also allows military law enforcement to check if any armed forces member has an indicated report of child abuse on file. The aim is to ensure that military authorities are aware of potential issues involving their members.

Supporters of the bill argue that it strengthens the safety and well-being of children by ensuring that military personnel are informed about serious allegations against their members. They believe this collaboration between child protective services and military law enforcement can lead to better outcomes for families and enhanced accountability within the armed forces.

Critics may contend that this bill could undermine the confidentiality of child abuse investigations and create a chilling effect for those who might report abuse. They might argue that it could lead to unnecessary military involvement in sensitive family matters, potentially complicating the resolution of child welfare cases.
