Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 28-349

Current with changes through the 2024 First Special Legislative Session
Section 28-349 - Legislative intent

The Legislature recognizes the need for the investigation and provision of services to certain persons who are substantially impaired and are unable to protect themselves from abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Often such persons cannot find others able or willing to render assistance. The Legislature intends through the Adult Protective Services Act to establish a program designed to fill this need and to assure the availability of the program to all eligible persons. It is also the intent of the Legislature to authorize the least restriction possible on the exercise of personal and civil rights consistent with the person's need for services.
