§ 19-34-6. Records.

To the extent permitted by state or federal law, a regulated institution shall provide, on request, access to or copies of records relevant to the suspected financial exploitation of an elder adult to the department, a law enforcement agency, or the office of attorney general, either as part of a report to the department, law enforcement agency, or the elder abuse unit of the office of attorney general or at the request of the department, law enforcement agency, or the office of attorney general in accordance with an investigation. The records may include historical records as well as records relating to the most recent transaction or transactions that may comprise financial exploitation not to exceed sixty (60) calendar days prior to the first transaction that was reported or sixty (60) days after the last transaction that was reported. An extension of the request for records may be made by the department, law enforcement agency, or the office of attorney general if, after receipt of the records, it is determined the suspected financial exploitation has occurred outside the scope of the original request.
