Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Elder Abuse and Neglect Act. Eliminates a reference to a repealed Act. Provides that upon sufficient appropriations to implement a statewide program, the Department on Aging shall implement a program, based on the recommendations of the Elder Self-Neglect Steering Committee, in connection with reports of possible self-neglect; eliminates a provision requiring the Department to take certain actions by January 1, 2008. Adds the following as persons entitled to access to records: (1) an executor or administrator of the estate of an eligible adult who is deceased; and (2) a coroner or medical examiner having proper jurisdiction, pursuant to a written agreement between a provider agency and the coroner or medical examiner, under which the provider agency may furnish to the office of the coroner or medical examiner a list of all eligible adults who may be at imminent risk of death as a result of abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, or self-neglect. Provides for a consent to services by an agent having authority under a power of attorney. Makes other changes.
