New laws include:
- increasing safety for home health care aides who are on the front lines of direct contact with clients
- giving the elderly population more options for choosing nursing homes
- preventing discrimination for those under mental health care
We also passed legislation protecting everyone from thieves, bullies, predators, scam artists, and other criminals on the internet. To protect privacy, online services will be prohibited from collecting personal data without approval from those under 18, and those 13 years of age and younger only with parental consent. |
