Create reporting requirements for elder exploitation
This bill establishes new reporting requirements for cases involving the exploitation of incapacitated persons or vulnerable adults in Montana. It requires the Department of Public Health and Human Services to forward credible exploitation reports to county attorneys and mandates that county attorneys submit annual reports to the Attorney General detailing case outcomes, including charges filed, convictions, and reasons for declining prosecution. The bill also updates the information that must be included in initial exploitation reports to ensure more complete documentation of victims, alleged perpetrators, and evidence. These changes aim to improve tracking and accountability in handling elder exploitation cases while maintaining confidentiality and focusing on factual reporting rather than speculation.
