Senate Endorses Protection of Senior Citizens

Posted: Updated:

North Dakota's Senate has endorsed bipartisan legislation that would require the reporting of abuse or neglect of senior citizens and other vulnerable adults.

Supporters say North Dakota and Colorado are the only two states that don't require the reporting of abuse to elders or other vulnerable adults.

They say the measure is intended to protect seniors from physical, mental, sexual and financial abuse.
