OR does it mean that Bishops and stake presidents encourage members to 1) follow the law and 2) report such matters when required?
Is the job solely encouragement of the members, or does it also involve reporting when wrong-doing is discovered?
If it is intended to include reporting by bishops and stake presidents, I don't care for the addition of "when required". It seems to mean that the Church only sanctions reporting by ecclesiastic leaders when required by state/local laws. At a minimum, they should change that to "when appropriate". I'd also support a change to "when appropriate, but especially to protect any current or potential victims".
