Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Creates  the  Elder   Abuser   Registration   Act.    Establishes      
   registration  requirements  for  persons  who  as caregivers have been      
   convicted of abuse or neglect of the elderly. Requires  elder  abusers      
   to  register  with  law enforcement authorities in the area that elder

   duty  to  register  upon release from a penal institution or treatment      
   facility  or  discharged  upon  payment  of  a  fine.   Requires   the      
   Department  of  State  Police  to  mail annual verification letters to      
   registrants and that the registrant complete and return  each  letter.      
   Requires  registrants to inform law enforcement authorities of changes      
   in residence or employment. Provides that registration data shall  not      
   be open to public inspection.  Establishes penalties for noncompliance      
   by  elder  abusers.   Establishes  an  Elder Abuser Registration Fund.      
   Provides that the Department of State  Police  shall  have  access  to      
   registration data.
