Summary

As Introduced. Suspected adult abuse, neglect, or exploitation; mandated reporting; vulnerable adults.

Provides that for the purpose of mandated reporting of suspected adult abuse, neglect, or exploitation, "adult" means any person age 18 or older, regardless of capacity, and requires reporting of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of any vulnerable adult. Currently, reporting is required in cases of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an adult who is (i) 60 years of age or older or (ii) 18 years of age or older and incapacitated. The bill also directs the Department of Social Services to develop a definition of "vulnerable adult" and to report its recommendation regarding such definition to the Chairmen of the House Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions and the Senate Committee on Rehabilitation and Social Services by December 1, 2018. Except for the reporting requirement, the bill has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2019. (Less)
