<DIV>Having read both HB 4016 and DHS doc.4016 several times, one question immediately springs to mind. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Within the definitions of "public or private official," over twenty occupations are listed (firefighter, optometrist, member of the clergy, etc.). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Neither document contains language using the word library, librarians, library assistant, page, clerk.<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In a field so closely connected to children's services, can anyone explain why the draftees failed to include the word library?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This glaring omission is perplexing.</DIV>
