Bill To Combat Abuse Of Vulnerable Adults Passes Legislature

(Olympia, WA)  --  A measure to combat the financial exploitation and neglect of vulnerable adults in Washington is awaiting Governor Inslee's signature.  The Senate gave the bill final legislative approval yesterday.  The measure establishes a new, specific crime of Theft from a Vulnerable Adult that carries tougher penalties and a longer statute of limitations than felony theft.  Supporters say the legislation "will give prosecutors the proper tools to go after those who take advantage of this vulnerable population."
