An Act To Add An Online Option For Reporting Of Suspected Abuse, Neglect And Exploitation Of Adults

Summary

The bill lets anyone report suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of adults to the Department of Health and Human Services through an online portal, in addition to the existing telephone requirement. Reporters must still provide key details about the adult and the alleged incident, and may need to submit a written follow‑up within 48 hours if asked. This change aligns Maine with new federal rules that require at least two reporting methods, one of which must be online.
