AI Summary

This bill modifies existing laws concerning the protection of vulnerable adults by limiting certain reporting and disclosure duties to only those findings that have been substantiated, meaning they have been confirmed as true after an investigation. Specifically, it changes how findings from investigations into abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults are reported to district attorneys, ensuring only substantiated findings are forwarded, and it also adjusts public disclosure rules to focus on substantiated findings when a caregiver is criminally charged. The bill also repeals a previous version of a section related to investigations and sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
