This act also modifies provisions relating to abuse and neglect of elderly and disabled persons by adding financial exploitation to the definition of "abuse"; adding persons to the list of mandated reporters in current law for in-home services clients, long-term care facilities, and personal care assistance services; requiring certain investigative reports to be confidential; and permitting hearings for persons placed on employee disqualification lists to take place by telephone or electronic means. This act establishes procedures for reporting misappropriation of property or funds for patients of certain medical facilities and entities, including hospitals and home health agencies. Finally, this act makes several technical changes to the current elderly and disabled persons abuse and neglect statutes. SARAH HASKINS
