Persons with disabilities: terminology.

Abstract

Existing law, prohibits, and prescribes heightened penalties for, the commission of specified offenses of abuse committed against an elder or dependent person or dependent adult. Existing law also mandates reporting of known or suspected cases of elder and dependent adult abuse. Existing law defines the terms "dependent person" and "dependent adult" for purposes of these provisions. This bill would change those terms in selected statutes to "person with a disability" and "adult with a disability" and would state the intent of the Legislature that those terms be changed in the remaining provisions of law that use them as those statutes are amended in the future.
