(A) For the purposes of this section, the word IMMEDIATELY means by telephone, in person, or by other than use of the mail. Upon receiving a bite report, the Police Department or Health Inspector shall record all pertinent information on a standardized form. Records should show that after a bite report is received, it shall be investigated; and if possible, the biting animal confined, and the attending physician notified of the animal's health. Investigation may include contact with the person bitten, or for a minor, with their parent or guardian, attending physician, veterinarian, and any other appropriate source to coordinate information, and make referral of patient and recommend treatment.
(B) It is unlawful for a physician, nurse, police officer, or any other person knowing or suspecting that a person has been bitten by an animal or having reason to believe that the wet saliva has come in direct contact with fresh, open, or raw, pre-existent abrasions, to refuse or fail to notify the Village Police Department or the Village Health Inspector immediately.
