Washington governor signs law requiring clergy to report child abuse, including during confession.
Washington's governor signed a bill requiring clergy to report child abuse to authorities, even if they learn of it during confession.
This new law, effective July 26, adds clergy to the list of mandatory reporters without exempting information learned in the confessional.
Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly stated that clergy will not break the seal of confession, even if it means facing legal consequences.
The law aims to protect children by closing a reporting loophole.
