Summary
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends revisions of nine forms to implement statutory changes in Assembly Bill 1243 and Assembly Bill 1621. AB 1243 allows courts to issue findings related to specific debts incurred as the result of financial abuse of an elder or dependent adult. AB 1621 prohibits persons restrained under elder or dependent adult abuse restraining orders from possessing firearm parts (in addition to already prohibited firearms). The proposal incorporates these new statutory provisions into the council’s elder abuse forms and includes updated language concerning interpreters, disability accommodation, and priority of enforcement on the proposed forms.
