Bill Summary
For legislation to include veterans' service officers as mandated reporters of abuse to elderly persons and persons with disabilities. Veterans and Federal Affairs.
AI Summary
This bill aims to include veterans' service officers as mandated reporters of abuse to elderly persons and persons with disabilities. Specifically, the bill amends two sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to add "veterans' service officers" to the list of individuals who are required by law to report suspected abuse or neglect of elderly or disabled individuals. This change would require veterans' service officers, in addition to other designated professionals such as social workers and council on aging outreach workers, to notify the appropriate authorities if they have reasonable cause to believe that an elderly person or person with a disability is being abused or neglected.
