SB 400 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Adult Protection Multidisciplinary Teams.

SB 400 establishes local "Adult Protection Multidisciplinary Teams" in North Carolina counties to address abuse, neglect, and exploitation of disabled adults (18+ with incapacity) and older adults (65+). These teams, composed of social services staff, law enforcement, prosecutors, healthcare providers, mental health professionals, and community advocates, will review specific cases and coordinate multi-agency responses to prevent re-victimization. The bill mandates county-level teams (or multicounty collaborations) to share information, address systemic service gaps, and develop community education programs. It directly affects vulnerable adults receiving adult protective services by creating a structured system for cross-agency collaboration to enhance safety and well-being.
