Modifies provisions relating to the abuse or neglect of vulnerable persons

Summary

The bill would force every licensed long‑term care facility in Missouri to maintain at least $1 million in liability insurance—or an equivalent segregated reserve—to cover abuse, neglect, or wrongful death claims. It also creates new reporting and public‑display rules for abuse findings, sets stricter grounds for license revocation, and makes certain abuse actions a misdemeanor or felony. The measures aim to increase transparency and protect vulnerable residents.
