  1  1    Section 1.  Section 633B.110, subsection 2, Code 2018, is
  1  2 amended by adding the following new paragraphs:
  1  3    NEW PARAGRAPH.  e.  The agent is named as having abused the

  1  6    NEW PARAGRAPH.  f.  The agent is convicted of dependent adult

  1  8                           EXPLANATION
  1  9 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
  1 10 the explanation's substance by the members of the general assembly.
  1 11    This bill relates to the termination or suspension of an
  1 12 agent's authority to act for a principal under a power of
  1 13 attorney.
  1 14    Code section 633B.110 currently provides that an agent's
  1 15 authority for a power of attorney terminates upon the
  1 16 occurrence of several circumstances including but not limited
  1 17 to when the principal revokes the authority; the agent dies,
  1 18 becomes incapacitated, or resigns; or an action is filed for
  1 19 the dissolution or annulment of the agent's marriage to the
  1 20 principal or for their legal separation, unless the power of
  1 21 attorney otherwise provides.  The bill amends the Code section
  1 22 to include an additional circumstance under which an agent's
  1 23 authority terminates, namely, if the agent is named as the
  1 24 abuser in a founded dependent adult abuse report related to the
  1 25 principal's financial resources or is convicted of dependent
  1 26 adult abuse related to the principal's financial resources.
