This bill died with 2019-2020 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Existing law, prohibits, and prescribes heightened penalties for, the commission of specified offenses of abuse committed against an elder or dependent person or dependent adult. Existing law also mandates reporting of known or suspected cases of elder and dependent adult abuse. Existing law defines the terms "dependent person" and "dependent adult" for purposes of these provisions. This bill would change those terms in selected statutes to "person with a disability" and "adult with a disability" and would state the intent of the Legislature that those terms be changed in the remaining provisions of law that use them as those statutes are amended in the future.
