§ 35-20-110 — When access to vulnerable adult denied; injunction

If access to the vulnerable adult is denied to law enforcement
or the department seeking to investigate a report of abuse,
neglect, exploitation, intimidation, abandonment or self neglect
of a vulnerable adult, the investigator may seek an injunction
to prevent interference with the investigation. The court may
issue the injunction if it finds that the person whose duty it
is to investigate the report is acting within the scope of his
duty and has been unreasonably denied access to the vulnerable
adult.
