Plain-language change summary

The changes to House Bill 4136 clarify the definition of unlawful entry concerning vulnerable adults. The bill now specifies that unlawful entry is tied to specific legal sections, ensuring a clear legal framework for prosecution in such cases. Additionally, it enhances the requirements for defining a sexual offense, making it easier for authorities to recognize and respond to such incidents. These changes are important because they provide stronger protections for vulnerable adults and aim to reduce the risk of abuse in their living situations.
