HB1187

The amendment NARROWS the mandatory reporting requirement for coaches by limiting it only to those coaches subject to § 13-36-10 (likely coaches in specific settings like schools), rather than all coaches as originally proposed. This change makes the bill less expansive while also fixing a citation error (26-13 8A-6 to 26-8A-6).

The amendment NARROWS the definition of which coaches must report child abuse by changing from "coaches subject to § 13-36-10" to only "coaches of a school activity," potentially excluding coaches in other settings like private sports organizations or recreational leagues. This revision makes the mandatory reporting requirement more restrictive than the bill's original intent to add coaches broadly to the list of reporters.

This amendment is a technical formatting change converting the bill from its engrossed (passed by the House) to enrolled (final) version, updating the bill number reference and adding standard legislative certification pages for executive approval—no substantive changes to the actual requirement that coaches be added as mandatory reporters of child abuse.
