Civic field manual

Verify mandatory reporter coverage, timing, training, and workflow guidance by state.

ReportDuty helps policy owners, supervisors, and operators check who is covered, what triggers the duty to report, how fast staff need to act, and what onboarding or incident workflow notes belong in the process.

What this product covers

  • 50-state directory with source-linked summaries and last-reviewed dates
  • Role-aware lookup across education, childcare, healthcare, social services, clergy, volunteers, and administrators
  • Training, documentation, penalties, protections, and workflow guidance for policy design

This is a summary surface. Use the linked state source before finalizing policy or handling a live incident.

50 states

Every state is listed in the directory, with dedicated detail pages and source posture.

Source-linked summaries

Trigger standards, timing notes, training posture, and workflow guidance stay tied to authority links and review dates.

Workflow-ready outputs

Use lookup results to draft onboarding, annual refresh, and incident escalation notes without turning the homepage into a legal encyclopedia.

How it works

Three quick moves, then route deeper only if you need nuance.

1. Choose state and role

Select the jurisdiction, role family, and setting you need to verify.

2. Review the duty summary

Read the coverage answer, trigger standard, timeline expectations, and channel guidance.

3. Export the workflow note

Copy a compact summary for onboarding, annual review, or incident response.

Why states matter

The product exists because coverage, training, and timing vary.

California

California can frame mandatory reporter expectations differently across role families, training posture, and reporting channels. That is why the lookup routes into state detail instead of flattening everything into one national answer.

Texas

Texas can frame mandatory reporter expectations differently across role families, training posture, and reporting channels. That is why the lookup routes into state detail instead of flattening everything into one national answer.

New York

New York can frame mandatory reporter expectations differently across role families, training posture, and reporting channels. That is why the lookup routes into state detail instead of flattening everything into one national answer.
