HRS §485A-808

Giving records to officials in elder financial abuse cases

A qualified person must share relevant records with the commissioner or law enforcement when reporting or investigating possible financial exploitation of an elder or vulnerable adult. These records are kept private and are not public. This does not limit the commissioner's other legal powers to inspect records.
