(1) Does the state require everyone to report child abuse, including sex abuse?  Yes.

(2) Does the law require coaches to report child abuse? Yes, because everyone must report.

(3) Does the law require college staff to report child abuse? Yes, because everyone must report.

(4) Does the law allow jail time for those who fail to properly report abuse? No. The statute penalizes retaliatory employment action due solely to an employee’s report of abuse. It also penalizes false reporting. However, it does not explicitly appear to set forth a criminal penalty for failing to report.
