<div>SDAO feels that it's worth considering
the possibility that libraries who offer services for the elderly
may also be mandatory reporters of elder abuse per 124.050. In
defining "public official", that statute says: "(L) Any public
official who comes in contact with elderly persons in the
performance of the official’s official duties." If a library
offers, say, outreach to an assisted living home or services for
homebound patrons, that may be enough to trigger mandatory
reporting. I don't believe that's a change to that statute,
though; the definition was already there.<br>
