color:#1F497D">At a staff meeting, we used the video from the DHS site and gave each staff member a copy of the booklet that Katie has shared in her emails about this.
They were both useful. We also had an officer from our police department who specialized in domestic crimes as a resource to expand a bit on what happens during a child abuse investigation and just answer questions. It was very positive. Future staff
will likely just have the video and the booklet and a discussion with me or the assistant director as part of their orientation.

All staff do sign a form saying we’ve provided them with this training. I’ve attached what we’re using.

<p class="MsoNormal">I think Buzzy has this right. They decided to expand the legislation and decided not to list every type this time. There is even some indication that the law will be further expanded in the future. So more people will be mandatory reporters,
not fewer people. I know that the legislator who brought the bill to the Legislature in the first place would like to do this.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Dan,<br>
<br>
I can't speak to the legislative intent of the law, but I can say that our legal counsel pretty clearly felt that the law applied to library staff as written, even if it didn't specifically call us out. Special Districts Association of Oregon, an umbrella group
that supports the district libraries in the state, believes the same. Library staff also fall within the purview of "public official" with other state regulations, such as the government ethics and transparency regulations.<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>

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