Answer:

b) False

Step-by-step explanation:

Notaries public in the state of Ohio are required by law to tell the right people when they think an elder person is being abused or neglected. In Ohio, people who are required to report suspected cases of elder abuse or neglect are protected from legal consequences, even if their initial assessments were wrong.

As a result, a notary public in Ohio would NOT face criminal charges for reporting suspected cases of elder abuse or neglect, even if their concerns turned out to be unfounded.
