Iowa City, Iowa The Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport has extended for another four years its pledge to local authorities to report allegations of sexual abuse between minors and clergy.

Church officials announced the extension of the Memorandum of Understanding today. It's signed by Bishop Martin Amos and Scott County Prosecutor William Davis.

The original agreement was signed last year by Davis and then-Bishop William Franklin, who has retired.

The new version includes some minor clarifications. That includes a vow to report allegations to Davis that originate outside Scott County.
