The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding Adult Protective Services by introducing new requirements for individuals filing actions under these services. Specifically, it mandates that such individuals must submit a follow-up report to the Attorney General (AG) within two years of the initial notice, indicating whether the action is ongoing. This replaces the previous requirement for the individual to submit a report on the final disposition of the case within 30 days after the final action. Additionally, the bill specifies that if a report is not submitted within the two-year timeframe, the AG has the authority to either update the registry if the status can be determined or delete the information if it cannot.

Current law requires that notice and a copy of the pleading be served to the AG within 30 days of filing an action, and it also outlines the AG's responsibilities in maintaining a registry of actions involving vulnerable adults. The bill modifies these provisions by changing the reporting timeline and adding the stipulation regarding the AG's actions based on the submission of reports. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the oversight and management of cases involving vulnerable adults by ensuring timely updates and accurate record-keeping in the registry.
