Bill overview
This bill creates a new type of personal protection order specifically for elderly or vulnerable adults and those with developmental disabilities. It allows individuals to petition a circuit court for an ‘elder and vulnerable adult personal protection order’ to prevent actions like entering property, assault, threats, firearm possession, or interfering with their animals. The order can also address financial exploitation and includes provisions for transferring cases to probate court and ensuring law enforcement awareness. It establishes clear criteria for issuing the order and outlines enforcement procedures, including potential criminal penalties for violations.
