Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

720 ILCS 5/12-4.4a

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. In provisions concerning the offense of criminal abuse or neglect of an elderly person or person with a disability, changes the definition of "caregiver" to include: (i) a parent, spouse, adult child, or other relative by blood or marriage who would have reason to believe, as a result of the actions, statements, or behavior of the elderly person or person with a disability, that he or she is being relied upon for providing primary and substantial assistance for physical care; and (ii) a person who has voluntarily assumed the responsibility for the care of an elderly person or person with a disability under specified circumstances. Provides that "voluntarily assumed the responsibility for the care of an elderly person or person with a disability" means a person has voluntarily assumed responsibility for providing primary and substantial assistance for the care of an elderly person or person with a disability if the person's conduct would lead a reasonable person to believe that failure to provide such care would adversely affect the physical health of the elderly person or person with a disability.
