In July 2023, the Task Force on Preventing and Countering Elder Abuse was authorized by the General Assembly (Chapters 706 & 707, Acts of 2023).
The Task Force charge first is to study existing laws, policies, and practices relating to elder abuse, and crimes committed against older adults; and then make recommendations regarding changes to State law, policy, and practice that would help prevent elder abuse.
Authorization for the Task Force ends June 30, 2025.
