An Act updating terminology and investigative practices related to the protection of persons with disabilities

This bill updates the official name of a state agency from the "disabled persons protection commission" to the "commission for the protection of persons with disabilities" to reflect more inclusive language. The legislation directly affects the agency's legal standing and its interactions with individuals and organizations by amending multiple sections of state law. It also clarifies key definitions used in investigations, such as specifying who counts as a "caretaker" and listing various professionals who must report suspected abuse. These changes aim to modernize terminology and ensure consistent definitions for protecting people with disabilities without altering the core investigative functions of the commission.
