This legislation simply increases the penalties for first and subsequent violations of the Reporting law where a sex offense is suspected, including when the mandated reporter acts to prevent discovery of the suspected abuse. The penalties for willful failure to report suspected abuse other than suspected sexual abuse remain the same. 2/9/2005HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep. Karen A.
