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 modifies 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 both the person’s age and mental or physical condition.

Changed since by amendment S-3227; see Amendments.
