When APS staff validates an allegation of abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation against a designated perpetrator and an entity or employer (such as a contracting agency or senior center) allows such designated perpetrator to have access to adults with disabilities, adults aged 65 or older, or children, then the APS caseworker may notify the entity of the findings by complying with this subchapter. If the findings are to be released to any entity or employer, the designated perpetrator must be given prior written notification, except in emergencies, and an opportunity to request an Administrative Review of Investigative Findings and a hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings.
