YourVoice.Now Summary
Creates an SEC taskforce on investors over 65 to address elder financial scams, reporting to Congress every two years for 10 years.
The details
Financial exploitation of seniors is a widespread and growing problem, and current federal oversight is fragmented. This bill creates a dedicated Senior Investor Taskforce within the SEC, focused specifically on investors over 65. The taskforce would identify challenges seniors face — including scams and issues related to cognitive decline — and issue a report to Congress every two years with recommendations for regulatory changes. It also directs the GAO to conduct a comprehensive study on the economic costs, frequency, and underreporting of elder financial exploitation. The taskforce would sunset after 10 years.
