SUMMARY

This amendment amends Committee Amendment "A" to require a polygraph examiner to report to the Department of Health and Human Services when the examiner knows or has reasonable cause to believe that a person 14 years of age or younger will be the victim of a sexual assault crime as provided in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 17-A, chapter 11 or is in imminent danger of substantial bodily injury or death and makes failure to report under these circumstances a Class E crime. The requirement to report to the Department of Health and Human Services does not abrogate any other duty to report the examiner has by virtue of the examiner's profession.
