protecting elderly victims of crimes. All too often, the people are victimized by those <br />that are charged with their care and perpetrators hide behind that relationship, and care <br />providers/banks are stuck behind confidentiality regulations where the perpetrator is in <br />control based upon legal authority transferred to them. Elder abuse is a significant issue <br />in our community and these tools will help protect this vulnerable population. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 4100 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to crimes committed against minors; creating new provisions; amending ORS <br />131.125 and 411.990; and declaring an emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Eliminates statute of limitations for certain crimes committed against minors.
