SUMMARY 
This amendment amends Committee Amendment "A" to require a polygraph 
examiner to report to the Department of Health and Human Services when the examiner 
knows or has reasonable cause to believe that a person 14 years of age or younger will be 
the victim of a sexual assault crime as provided in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 
17-A, chapter 1 I or is in imminent danger of substantial bodily injury or death and makes 
failure to report under these circumstances a Class E crime. The requirement to report to 
the Department of Health and Human Services does not abrogate any other duty to report 
the examiner has by virtue of the examiner's profession.
