Modifies provisions relating to the elder abuse and neglect hotline
SB 694 modifies Missouri's elder abuse hotline requirements to improve reporting and service. It requires all reports to include specific details about the affected elder (name, age, address), their caregiver, and the nature of the abuse. The bill mandates a statewide 24/7 toll-free hotline operated continuously by the department, replacing previous availability rules. Reports about individuals not meeting the legal definition of "eligible adults" must be referred to other authorities. This directly affects vulnerable seniors, their caregivers, and state agencies handling elder abuse cases.
