After the list of mandated reporters:
- “Any other person who has knowledge of or observes a child whom he or she knows or reasonably suspects has been a victim of sexual abuse shall report the known or suspected instance of sexual abuse to a peace officer….”
- Does not have to be related to the person's job.
- “Every other person” includes mandated reporters on their time off.
The following bills are out of this grid's normal scope but may be of interest when related to AB 1438.
- AB 1434 adds as mandated reporters “employees of a public or private institution of higher education, as to child abuse or neglect occurring on that institution's premises.”
- AB 1435 adds as mandated reporters “athletic coaches, administrators, and directors … employed by or volunteering with a public or private organization.”
