SUMMARY:

Adult protective services; false reports; penalties. Provides that any person 14 years of age or older who makes a report of abuse or neglect of aged or incapacitated adults which he knows to be false shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class 2 misdemeanor for any subsequent offense. The custodian of the adult protective services record, upon presentation of a certified copy of any such conviction, shall purge the record and notify the person alleged to have committed the abuse or neglect of such fact. This provision is comparable to the false report penalty provision for child protective services.
