HB 732 Adult protective services; release of reports made in bad faith.
Introduced by: Johnny S. Joannou | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Adult protective services; reports made in bad faith. Establishes a circuit court procedure for a person who is alleged to have committed abuse, neglect or exploitation of an adult to access adult protective services records when the allegation against the person is believed to be made in bad faith or with malicious intent. If the circuit court determines that there is a reasonable question of fact as to whether the report was made in bad faith or with malicious intent and that disclosure of the identity of the complainant would not be likely to endanger the life or safety of the complainant, it shall provide to the person a copy of the records of the investigation. The original records shall be subject to discovery in any subsequent civil action regarding the making of a complaint or report in bad faith or with malicious intent.
