Introduced Text

New Jersey S3483 revises requirements for reporting abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults, making it mandatory for all individuals to.

New Jersey S3483 amends the "Adult Protective Services Act" to mandate reporting of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults by all individuals, not just specific professionals. Failure to report when there is reasonable cause results in criminal penalties, including up to 18 months in prison, a fine of up to $10,000, or both. The bill also imposes penalties for interfering with evaluations or protective services, and establishes a public registry of substantiated acts of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, excluding personal identifying information.
