49 Pa. Code § 5.95
To protect children from abuse, the reporting requirements of § § 5.91—5.94 take precedence over the provisions of any client confidentiality, ethical principle or professional standard that might otherwise apply. In accordance with 23 Pa.C.S. § 6311.1 (relating to privileged communications), privileged communications between a mandated reporter and a patient does not apply to a situation involving child abuse and does not relieve the mandated reporter of the duty to make a report of suspected child abuse.
The provisions of this § 5.95 amended under section 302(3) of the Chiropractic Practice Act (63 P.S. § 625.302(3)); and 23 Pa.C.S. § 6383(b)(2).
The provisions of this § 5.95 amended November 3, 2023, effective November 4, 2023, 53 Pa.B. 6830. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (354042).
