Modifies provisions relating to abuse or neglect of vulnerable persons

HB 3379 updates Missouri's laws protecting vulnerable adults from abuse and neglect in adult day care settings. It requires staff, healthcare workers, and others with reasonable cause to believe abuse or neglect occurred to immediately report it to the Department of Health and Senior Services, with failure to report punishable as a misdemeanor. The bill defines key terms like "financial exploitation" and "neglect" and establishes penalties for concealment of abuse causing serious harm or death (a class E felony). This directly affects adult day care providers, their staff, and vulnerable participants (functionally impaired adults over 18).
