The bill defines a "senior citizen" as someone 60 years of age or older and a "person with a disability" as someone substantially incapable of exercising normal physical or mental power of resistance due to a pre-existing medically determinable physical or mental impairment. The actor is strictly liable for the victimization offense, regardless of their knowledge of the victim's status.
