 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

 1 Section 1. Section 415 of the social services law, as amended by
 2 section 3-a of part D of chapter 501 of the laws of 2012, is amended to
 3 read as follows:
 4 § 415. Reporting procedure. Reports of suspected child abuse or
 5 maltreatment made pursuant to this title shall be made immediately by
 6 telephone or by telephone facsimile machine on a form supplied by the
 7 commissioner of the office of children and family services. Oral reports
 8 shall be followed by a report in writing within forty-eight hours after
 9 such oral report. Oral reports shall be made to the statewide central
 10 register of child abuse and maltreatment unless the appropriate local
 11 plan for the provision of child protective services provides that oral
 12 reports should be made to the local child protective service. In those
 13 localities in which oral reports are made initially to the local child
 14 protective service, the child protective service shall immediately make
 15 an oral or electronic report to the statewide central register. Written
 16 reports shall be made to the appropriate local child protective service
 17 except that written reports involving children being cared for in a home
 18 operated or supervised by an authorized agency or the office of children
 19 and family services shall be made to the statewide central register of
 20 child abuse and maltreatment which shall transmit the reports to the
 21 agency responsible for investigating the report, in accordance with
 22 section four hundred twenty-four-b of this title. Written reports shall
 23 be made in a manner prescribed and on forms supplied by the commissioner
 24 of the office of children and family services and shall include the
 25 following information: the names and addresses of the child and [his or
 26 her] the child's parents or other person responsible for [his or her]
 27 the child's care, if known, and, as the case may be, the name and
