Bill Would Require Coaches To Report Abuse

Lawmakers are tightening the reins when it comes to reporting sexual abuse.  A bill has been introduced which will require university officials and athletic coaching teams to report  abuse and neglect if they see it or catch wind of it.  Representative Dwight Kay is leading the charge in Springfield.  The Edwardsville Republican was prompted to introduce the bill after the Penn State scandal broke.  Kay says this is not just a Republican interest.  Some of his Democratic colleagues have chosen to co-sponsor the bill.
