The bill proposes the repeal of section 192.2410 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and enacts a new section in its place, which maintains the requirements for reporting elder abuse and neglect. The new section outlines that reports must include specific information about the eligible adult and the person responsible for their care, as well as the nature of the adult's condition. Additionally, it stipulates that reports concerning individuals not classified as eligible adults will be directed to the appropriate authorities. A significant change introduced in the new section is the establishment of a statewide toll-free hotline for reporting elder abuse and neglect, which will be operational continuously, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. This enhancement aims to improve accessibility and responsiveness in addressing cases of elder abuse and neglect in Missouri.
