Counsel.
Explains SB 106B as amended in the House Judiciary Committee makes
changes to statutes on elder abuse and abuse of disabled persons. Continues that SB 106B includes
firefighters and emergency medical technicians within the definition of
public and private officials who have a mandatory reporting duty to report
abuse of elderly or disabled persons; extends the definition of abuse for
reporting and restraining order purposes to include wrongful taking or
appropriating of money or property and to exclude non-consenting sexual
contact of elderly persons and persons with disabilities; specifies type of
relief available under restraining order to prevent abuse of elderly and
disabled persons. Advises the further
amendment which is the subject of the conference committee would require
state agencies and registered sex offenders to notify long-term and
residential care facilities of the sex offender’s status and permit the care
facilities to deny admission or discharge or transfer registered sex
offenders under certain circumstances.
Refers to the -12 amendments (EXHIBIT
A) which revise Section 13 only of SB 106B. Explains further the changes in the -12 amendments. Advises of a sunset provision that repeals
only Section 13 of SB 106B in January 2010. |
