The bill, known as "Neil's Law," establishes the Oklahoma Elder Exploitation and Abuse Act, aimed at protecting the rights of incapacitated persons and vulnerable adults. It defines key terms such as "abuse," "exploitation," and "neglect," and outlines the legal framework for filing civil claims in district court against individuals who exploit or abuse these vulnerable populations. The Act allows legal representatives to pursue claims on behalf of incapacitated individuals, ensures that claims can survive the death of the vulnerable adult, and provides for the recovery of attorney fees and costs. It also emphasizes the importance of reporting suspected abuse or neglect to appropriate authorities.

Additionally, the bill grants district courts the authority to issue restraining orders to prevent further violations and clarifies that certain privileged relationships, such as physician-patient and spousal privileges, cannot be used to exclude evidence in cases of elder abuse or exploitation. The Act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to enhance the legal protections available to vulnerable adults in Oklahoma.
