AB 714

Current law requires certain persons who have reasonable cause to suspect

that a child seen in the course of professional duties has been abused or neglected

or who has a reasonable belief that such a child has been threatened with abuse or

neglect and that abuse or neglect will occur to report that suspected or threatened

abuse or neglect to the county department of human services or social services or to

the sheriff or city, village, or town police department. Executive Order 54 (2011)

requires similar reporting by a professor, administrator, coach, or other employee of

the University of Wisconsin System.

This bill makes professors, administrators, coaches, and other employees of

any

public, private, or tribal postsecondary educational institution mandatory child

abuse and neglect reporters.
