(a) If it is determined by an investigation that a person with intellectual disability has been abused or neglected, the commissioner shall develop and implement a plan of protective services. The name of the person making the report of abuse or neglect shall not be disclosed without such person's consent. (b) If the caregiver of a person with intellectual disability who has consented to the receipt of protective services refuses to allow the provision of such services to such person, the commissioner may petition the Superior Court for an order enjoining the caregiver from interfering with the provision of protective services to the person. The petition shall allege specific facts sufficient to show that the person with intellectual disability is in need of protective services and consents to their provision and that the caregiver refuses to allow the provision of such services. If the court finds that the person is in need of such services and has been prevented by the caregiver from receiving the same, the court may issue an order enjoining the caregiver from interfering with the provision of protective services to the person.
