		<ns0:GeneralSubject>
			<ns0:Subject>Child abuse: mandated reporters: talent agents, managers, and coaches.</ns0:Subject>
		</ns0:GeneralSubject>
		<ns0:DigestText>
			<html:p>Existing law, the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, requires a mandated reporter, as defined, to report whenever they, in their professional capacity or within the scope of their employment, have knowledge of or observed a child whom the mandated reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. Failure by a mandated reporter to report an incident of known or reasonably suspected child abuse or neglect is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months of confinement in a county jail, by a fine of $1,000, or by both that imprisonment and fine.</html:p>
			<html:p> This bill would add an individual employed as a talent agent, talent manager, or talent coach, who provides services to a minor, to the list of individuals who are mandated reporters. By imposing the reporting requirements on a new class of persons, for whom failure to
			 report specified conduct is a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 11165.7 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 402 and SB 848, to be operative only if this bill and either or both of those bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last.</html:p>
			<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
			<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>
