AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law to enhance the reporting and tracking of elder abuse cases. It requires the Arizona prosecuting attorneys' advisory council to develop and make available training on mandatory reporting laws, specifically referencing section 46-454, which deals with reporting elder abuse. Additionally, the bill modifies existing procedures for reporting to the attorney general's elder abuse central registry. It clarifies that individuals and agencies filing actions or administrative decisions related to elder abuse must submit reports on the final disposition of these cases to the attorney general. If the attorney general cannot determine the status or disposition of an action after a report is due, they will either update the registry with available information or remove the entry entirely. The information in this registry, which includes details about filed actions and their outcomes, remains accessible to the public upon written request.
