Relating to financial exploitation of a person in recovery

HB 3095 creates new legal protections for people in recovery (such as those in addiction treatment) against financial exploitation. It establishes a civil process allowing victims to file for protective orders and sue for damages if someone misuses their funds or assets through undue influence or intentional misappropriation. The law bans defenses based solely on a trusted relationship (like being a guardian or attorney) and requires courts to order the return of stolen assets or award actual damages. Protective orders can be temporary without prior notice to the accused but must be reviewed in a full hearing within 20 days.
