SCS/SB 625 - This act allows prosecuting attorneys or circuit attorneys to develop multidisciplinary adult protection teams to investigate, prosecute, treat, and provide services for certain elderly and other dependent persons who have been abused, neglected, or otherwise exploited. The prosecuting or circuit attorney shall use the team to facilitate the investigation and prosecution of offenses against elderly or vulnerable persons and to supplement any protective services provided by the Department of Health and Senior Services. Adult protection personnel responding to a report of abuse by a mandated reporter shall contact the local law enforcement agency upon receipt of a report involving a potential crime, provide a detailed description of the report, and request assistance in investigating the complaint. If the local law enforcement agency is unable to assist, the agency shall provide the adult protection personnel with a written explanation within 24 hours. Additionally, the multidisciplinary adult protection team shall accompany the local law enforcement agency when responding to a report alleging criminal activity to provide protective or preventive social services. The act includes provisions for coordination and non-duplication of services between other offices and departments. This act specifies that certain information obtained or created by the multidisciplinary adult protection teams shall be confidential and not public records, with exceptions as described in the act. Any person participating in good faith in any action or omission authorized or required under this act shall be immune from civil or criminal liability that may result by reason of such action or omission. This act is substantially similar to HCS/HB 932 (2019). SARAH HASKINS
