AI Summary
This bill aims to further protect persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities from abuse. It does this by expanding the definition of "Employer" to include entities that provide services or treatment to such individuals, and requiring these employers to check the state's abuse registry before hiring or retaining any employee. The bill also strengthens confidentiality protections around the abuse registry, limiting the disclosure of information contained within it to only what is necessary for employment considerations or as otherwise required by law.
