What’s in it

Currently, under Code section 235F.1(17), “vulnerable elder” is defined as a person 60 years of age or older who is unable to protect himself or herself from elder abuse either as a result of the person’s age or as a result of the person’s mental or physical condition. This bill amends this definition to provide that a “vulnerable elder” is a person 60 years of age or older who is unable to protect himself or herself from elder abuse as a result of the person’s mental or physical condition or because of a personal circumstance which results in an increased risk of harm to the person.

Changed since by amendment S-3227; see Amendments.
