Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 3335 amends the Human Resources Code to provide that a person who has knowledge concerning the possible abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an elderly or disabled person that was obtained during the scope of the person's employment has a duty to report the information to either the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services or the appropriate state agency. The bill establishes that an employer whose employee reports the suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation is immune from civil or criminal liability unless the employer is the subject of the investigation.
