Amend the bill by striking out everything after the enacting clause and before the summary and inserting the following:
‘Sec. 1.  22 MRSA §4011-A, sub-§9  is enacted to read:
 
9.  Training requirement.    A person required to make a report under subsection 1 shall complete at least once every 4 years mandated reporter training approved by the department.’
 
SUMMARY
This amendment replaces the bill. It requires all mandated reporters of suspected child abuse or neglect to complete training approved by the department at least once every 4 years. Unlike the bill, the training requirement in the amendment does not affect the issuing or renewal of professional licenses.
