Representative Young, bill sponsor, presented House Bill 16-1394. The bill implements the recommendations of the at-risk adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) mandatory reporting implementation task force. Among its many provisions, this bill:
- standardizes statutory definitions related to at-risk persons and the mistreatment of at-risk persons, including persons with IDD;
- expands the penalty that can be imposed by the court on a person convicted of mistreatment of an at-risk person to include the payment of treatment costs and restitution;
- adds new mandatory reporters that are required to report the mistreatment of an at-risk person with IDD or at-risk elders;
- removes the provision of law stating that bank and financial service personnel are only required to report mistreatment of an at-risk adult with IDD or elder if it is directly observed;
- adds professionals that are encouraged to report mistreatment of at-risk adults;
- reduces the amount of time local law enforcement agencies or county departments must prepare a written report on at-risk person mistreatment from 48 to 24 hours;
- clarifies that if a county determines an investigation into the mistreatment is needed, the county department of human services or social services must conduct the investigation; and
- clarifies that the human rights committee is responsible for ensuring that an investigation occurs for mistreatment of an adult with IDD who is receiving services through the Office of Community Living in the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing.
