     4  a  twenty-four  hour  animal abuse hotline. The hotline shall be a toll-

     6  organization specializing in animal protection to administer the hotline
     7  established  pursuant  to  the  section. The attorney general shall take
     8  reasonable efforts to inform the  public  of  the  availability  of  the
     9  hotline.
    10    2.  When  any allegation that could reasonably constitute a reportable
    11  incident is received by the hotline, the hotline shall accept and  imme-
    12  diately  transmit  notice of the report orally and electronically to any
    13  appropriate state agencies, local law enforcement agency or  non-govern-
    14  mental organization specializing in animal protection.
