AI Summary

  • Amends the Abuse of Adults with Disabilities Intervention Act to require the Office of Inspector General to immediately report to law enforcement and the coroner/medical examiner upon the death of an adult with disabilities if any abuse, neglect, or exploitation complaint was filed prior to death, regardless of whether substantiated.

  • Written reports to authorities must include information about the prior complaint, actions taken by the Office of Inspector General and Department, investigating personnel involved, and case numbers from relevant agencies.

  • Changes assessment requirements to mandate that the Office of Inspector General must notify law enforcement if a crime has been committed and shall include a residence visit in assessments (changed from optional to mandatory).

  • Establishes specific timelines for implementing service plans: within 14 calendar days for substantiated cases, and within 2 working days for emergency situations.

  • Defines "service plan" as a temporary plan addressing service or support needs and clarifies that an investigation into a disabled adult's death may proceed even if the adult lacked capacity to consent to assessment.
