The bill, known as "Alan's Law," establishes enhanced penalties for individuals employed or volunteering in caregiving facilities who are found guilty of committing offenses against vulnerable persons within those facilities. Specifically, it stipulates that if a person is convicted of a misdemeanor or felony offense while working or volunteering in such a facility, they will face an additional prison sentence of 1 to 10 years, which must run consecutively to any sentence for the underlying offense. The bill also clarifies that the minimum sentences cannot be deferred or suspended, except as provided in existing law.

Furthermore, the bill provides definitions for "caregiving facility" and "vulnerable person." A "caregiving facility" encompasses various types of institutions, including mental health facilities, assisted living facilities, and schools, while a "vulnerable person" is defined as either a child or a vulnerable adult. The bill aims to strengthen protections for vulnerable individuals in caregiving settings by imposing stricter penalties on those who exploit their positions of trust.
