<p class="MsoNormal">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>
