Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. In provisions concerning the offense of criminal abuse or neglect of an elderly person or person with a disability, changes the definition of "caregiver" to include: (i) a parent, spouse, adult child, or other relative by blood or marriage who would have reason to believe, as a result of the actions, statements, or behavior of the elderly person or person with a disability, that he or she is being relied upon for providing primary and substantial assistance for physical care; and (ii) a person who has voluntarily assumed the responsibility for the care of an elderly person or person with a disability under specified circumstances.
