5 b, Code 2003, is amended by adding the following new
6 subparagraph:
7 NEW SUBPARAGRAPH. (13) A member of the clergy.
8 However, if the belief that a child has suffered abuse
9 arises from information obtained only during a
10 penitential communication, the clergy member is not
11 subject to the requirement to make the report. This
12 subparagraph shall not be construed to modify or limit
13 a clergy member's duty to report the belief that a
14 child has been abused when the clergy member is acting
15 in some other capacity that would otherwise make the
16 clergy member a mandatory reporter of abuse. For the
17 purposes of this subparagraph, unless the context
18 otherwise requires:
19 (a) "Clergy member" or "member of the clergy"
20 means an individual who is designated as clergy by
21 ordination, licensing, or other form of entitlement by
22 the religious group or sect with whom the individual
23 is affiliated.
24 (b) "Penitential communication" means a
25 communication intended to be in confidence, including
26 but not limited to a sacramental confession made to a
27 clergy member who, in the course of the discipline or
28 practice of the clergy member's religious group or
29 sect, is authorized to hear those communications, and
30 under the discipline, practice, tenets, or customs of
31 the religious group or sect, the clergy member has the
32 duty to keep the communication secret.
33 Sec. . Section 232.69, subsection 3, paragraph
34 b, Code 2003, is amended to read as follows:
35 b. A person required to make a report under
36 subsection 1, other than a physician whose
37 professional practice does not regularly involve
38 providing primary health care to children or a member
39 of the clergy, shall complete two hours of training
40 relating to the identification and reporting of child
41 abuse within six months of initial employment or self-
42 employment involving the examination, attending,
43 counseling, or treatment of children on a regular
44 basis. Within one month of initial employment or
45 self-employment, the person shall obtain a statement
46 of the abuse reporting requirements from the person's
47 employer or, if self-employed, from the department.
48 The person shall complete at least two hours of
49 additional child abuse identification and reporting
50 training every five years."
