The proposed bill would amend current statutes related to Adult Protective Services by introducing new requirements and procedures. Specifically, it mandates that the Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys' Advisory Council develop a statewide training curriculum on mandatory reporting laws, which must be made available to individuals required to report under these laws. Additionally, it changes the reporting timeline for individuals filing actions under Adult Protective Services, requiring them to submit a follow-up report to the Attorney General within two years of the initial notice, indicating whether the action is ongoing.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the Attorney General's responsibilities if a report on the status and disposition of an action is not submitted. If the Attorney General can determine the status or disposition, they are required to update the registry; if not, they must delete the information from the registry. These changes aim to enhance the oversight and management of cases involving vulnerable adults while streamlining the reporting process.
