HB 1008: Vulnerable adults

Protecting vulnerable adults.

Summary

  • Allows certain "interested persons" to petition for an order for protection of a vulnerable adult.
  • Requires notice to the vulnerable adult when someone else files a petition for protection on behalf of the vulnerable adult and creates a process for resolving the petition if the vulnerable adult does not consent to the petition.
  • Lengthens the maximum time period that an order for protection can extend to five years, and creates a process for a vulnerable adult to modify or terminate a protection order.
  • Requires the Administrative Office of the Courts to develop and maintain standard forms, instructions, and a handbook on the protection order process.
  • Provides that a deceased vulnerable adult's cause of action for abandonment, abuse, exploitation, or neglect survives to the estate for recovery of the economic losses to the estate if the deceased vulnerable adult has no statutory beneficiaries.
