Provides that the court may, in its discretion, consider such facts and circumstances as it deems appropriate to allow the person found liable for financial exploitation, abuse, or neglect of an elderly person or a person with a disability to receive a reduction in interest or benefit rather than no interest or benefit. us/states/il Illinois General Assembly 98th SB 2955 Illinois SB 2955 (98th)
