We think we should only have a provider testify if there is a powerful story/example; otherwise, Kevin can do it the intro/testimony at the committee hearing.
The one hurdle Kevin anticipates is the possibility of law enforcement not agreeing to with the notification. We would then consider amending the bill to indicate that the referring parties (e.g. hospitals,
counties) must pass along the information if they are aware.

Subject: RE: Sexual Predator
Is there really opposition to this that requires testimony? I am pretty sure we have run in to this situation on more than one occasion but do not recall the specifics but could gather them if necessary. Basically there have not been
any attacks or anything like that but we have found out after the admit visit of the client’s history that would have been nice to know ahead of time as we may have done things differently.

Subject: Sexual Predator
Kevin and I have been discussing who should testify on the Sexual Predator notification bill. We will likely have Kevin do it because it is fairly straightforward. The exception would be if we could find an agency who has experienced
an issue with the sexual predator. Are any of you aware of an agency that has in fact dealt with this? The bill will be up on Thursday in HHS Reform at 8:15am.
Thanks!
