Stronger oversight for adults under guardianship
The law expands reviews of deaths and serious injuries to more people. Adults under public guardianship and people getting home- and community-based services now count as “adults receiving services” for these reviews. The review panel adds required members, including adult protective services staff, a person with lived experience, and a primary care provider or advanced practice nurse. Investigators and reviewers can use guardianship records in adult protective cases to support a full review.
