An Act amending the act of October 7, 2010 (P.L.484, No.70), known as the Adult Protective Services Act, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; in administration, further providing for duties of department and agencies; and providing for registration of abuse and neglect perpetrators.

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Adult Protective Services Act to update definitions and administrative duties while establishing a registration system for perpetrators of abuse and neglect. It clarifies terms such as "abuse," "exploitation," and "caregiver" to include specific acts like institutional sexual assault and unauthorized taking of an adult's resources. The legislation also outlines the responsibilities of the Department of Human Services and other agencies in protecting adults aged 18 to 59 with significant physical or mental impairments. Additionally, it mandates the registration of individuals convicted of abusing or neglecting vulnerable adults to enhance accountability and public safety.
