What’s in it
This bill relates to the exploitation of a dependent adult by a caretaker. Under current law, dependent adult abuse includes the exploitation of a dependent adult as a result of the willful or negligent acts or omissions of a caretaker when the caretaker takes unfair advantage of the dependent adult’s physical or financial resources for the caretaker’s own personal or pecuniary profit without the dependent adult’s consent by undue influence, harassment, duress, deception, false representation, or false pretenses.
Read the full explanation
“Caretaker” is defined as a related or nonrelated person who has the responsibility for the protection, care, or custody of a dependent adult as a result of assuming the responsibility voluntarily, by contract, through employment, or by order of the court. The bill eliminates the requirement that a caretaker taking unfair advantage of a dependent adult’s physical or financial resources must do so for the caretaker’s own personal or pecuniary profit.
