The bill enacts a new section, 5101.72, of the Revised Code, which outlines the responsibilities of county departments of job and family services regarding adult protective services. It defines key terms such as "long-term care facility" and "residential care facility" by referencing existing sections of the Revised Code. The bill grants these departments the authority to receive and investigate reports of exploitation involving adults who do not live in independent arrangements and are residing in long-term or residential care facilities.

Additionally, if an investigation determines that an adult requires protective services, the department or its designee is mandated to provide such services in accordance with existing laws. The bill clarifies that the authority granted to the department is supplementary to the responsibilities of the long-term care ombudsman program, ensuring a comprehensive approach to protecting vulnerable adults in care facilities.
