  • Introduced: November 29, 2024
  • Legislative Action: Drafter Assigned (2024-11-29); Draft Died in Process (2025-05-22)
  • Classification: Bill
  • Subject: Senior Citizens / Retirement

What the bill is intended to do

  • The bill is described by its title as a measure to generally revise the laws governing the adult protection services database. The specific aims, objectives, and policy goals are not provided in the information available here. As written, the bill would have attempted to update statutory framework controlling how the adult protection services database is created, maintained, and used by relevant state agencies.

Key provisions and potential areas (not specified in the available text)

  • Data governance and standards: Likely would address how data within the adult protection services database is collected, stored, validated, and updated.
  • Privacy and security: Possible requirements for confidentiality, access controls, encryption, retention periods, and safeguards to protect sensitive information about vulnerable adults.
  • Access and use: Potential rules about who may access the database (e.g., adult protective services personnel, law enforcement, courts, approved researchers) and for what purposes.
  • Data sharing: Possible provisions governing sharing of information with other agencies, entities, or jurisdictions, including any required interagency agreements.
  • Oversight and accountability: Potential mechanisms for monitoring compliance, audits, and penalties for misuse or breaches.
  • Funding and implementation: Possible provisions related to appropriation, timelines for implementation, and performance measures.

Note: The precise provisions, definitions, and numerical details (percentages, timelines, funding amounts, etc.) are not provided in the available information. Readers should consult the bill’s full text for exact language if it becomes available or reintroduced.

Who would be affected

  • State and local agencies administering adult protective services and any other agencies with responsibilities for vulnerable adults.
  • Personnel who access or manage the adult protection services database (caseworkers, supervisors, data managers, law enforcement partners, and courts).
  • Individuals who are the subject of protective services and any third parties whose information is contained in the database (consistent with privacy and consent requirements).
  • Researchers or other entities that might be granted limited access under approved protocols.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduction: November 29, 2024 (Drafter Assigned)
  • Status update: Draft died in process as of May 22, 2025
  • Implications: Because the bill did not advance, it did not become law. If revived or reintroduced in future sessions, it would again follow standard legislative processes (committee consideration, potential amendments, floor votes, and, if passed, enactment).

Bottom line

LC 2093 sought to revise the statutory framework for the adult protection services database, aiming to update governance, privacy, and access provisions. With the draft having died in process, the bill did not progress toward enactment, but its themes may reappear in future legislation targeting safeguarding of vulnerable adults and the administration of related data systems.
