There is a newer version of the New Hampshire Revised Statutes
2015 New Hampshire Revised Statutes
Title XII - PUBLIC SAFETY AND WELFARE
Chapter 161-F - ELDERLY AND ADULT SERVICES
Section 161-F:42 - Purpose.
NH Rev Stat § 161-F:42 (2015) What's This?
161-F:42 Purpose. – The purpose of this subdivision is to provide protection for incapacitated adults who are abused, neglected, or exploited. Implicit in this subdivision is the philosophy that whenever possible an adult's right to self-determination should be preserved, and that each adult should live in safe conditions and should live his own life without interruption from state government. Only when these principles become impossible to follow should legal proceedings be initiated in order to care for and protect such adults.
