"These are the first two bills in Michigan that seek to modernize our laws to protect vulnerable adults, individuals 18 plus, people with cognitive impairments, dementia, different disabilities that may have been lifelong like Down syndrome from predation, online exploitation, sexual assaults, and things like that," says Marsack-Topolewski. "So, these would be the first two bills here in Michigan, mimicking things that happened in other states in terms of the modernization of laws."
