Summary

This bill would create a central registry for adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation reports in Virginia. Adult protective services programs investigate reports of harm to vulnerable adults. The central registry would track substantiated allegations and findings of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of adults. This registry would help protect vulnerable populations by providing a centralized database to identify perpetrators and prevent them from working with vulnerable adults in certain settings.
