     9  to  the department of health within twenty-four hours of its occurrence,
    10  and shall also have an affirmative duty to report to an appropriate  law
    11  enforcement  authority  if  the  operator discovers an incident that the

    13  crime against a resident of such facility as soon as possible, or in any
    14  event within twenty-four hours. In addition, [any] the  operator  [of  a
