Legislative findings. The General Assembly finds all of the following:
(a) Illinois' current investigatory system is decentralized, being comprised of different State agencies responsible for investigating abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, or self-neglect of different populations depending upon the age of the individual and the setting in which he or she resides.
(b) Each of the investigatory agencies has its own hotline to receive reports of abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, or self-neglect of the individuals and settings over which they have investigative authority.
(c) To ensure the safety and well-being of the individuals the investigatory system was designed to protect, it is a goal to develop a statewide centralized hotline to receive reports of abuse, neglect, financial exploitation, or self-neglect of adults with disabilities and older adults.
