Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 867 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE MANDATORY REPORTING OF FINANCIAL ABUSE OF ELDERS BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Reinstating the original statutory requirements that financial institutions report suspected abuse to the Department of Human Services;
(2) Allowing the required reporting of suspected financial abuse to be made by facsimile or electronic device;
(3) Reinstating the original statutory requirements that upon receipt of a report of suspected financial abuse, the Department of Human Services, in a timely manner, determine whether it has jurisdiction over the elder and to proceed accordingly pursuant to established procedures;
(4) Requiring the police department to proceed in a timely manner with a criminal investigation after the receipt of a report; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 867, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B.
