Washington State settles lawsuit regarding clergy reporting of child abuse βοΈ A recent settlement in Washington State modifies a law requiring clergy to report child abuse. The state agreed not to enforce the lawβs application to information revealed during confession, preserving the sanctity of religious practice. This landmark agreement balances legal obligations with religious freedom. The settlement stems from a lawsuit challenging Senate Bill 5375, initially intended to mandate clergy reporting.
