The proposed bill would amend current statutes by establishing the Vulnerable Adult System Study Committee, which would consist of 25 members from various sectors, including state representatives, health services, law enforcement, and advocacy organizations. This committee would be tasked with developing a coordinated delivery system for vulnerable adults, recommending best practices for investigations, and ensuring that vulnerable adults receive necessary services. Additionally, the bill mandates that assisted living facility discharge or eviction notices include a statement of the resident's rights, enhancing transparency and protection for residents.

Furthermore, the bill outlines specific duties for the Study Committee, such as researching best practices, identifying common outcomes, and recommending changes to existing statutes governing vulnerable adult services. It allows for the formation of work groups to address the needs of specific populations, such as those with developmental disabilities and the elderly. The committee is required to submit annual reports on its findings and recommendations, and it is set to be repealed after December 31, 2028, unless extended.
