RELATING TO HEALTH.

SB 650 makes it a Class A felony for caregivers to financially exploit vulnerable adults, such as elderly or disabled individuals. This law directly affects vulnerable adults who rely on caregivers for support and the caregivers themselves who commit such exploitation. The key provision elevates the penalty for this crime from a lower-level offense to the highest criminal classification, reflecting its severity. The bill aims to strengthen legal consequences for financial abuse in caregiving relationships.
