Plain-English Summary

This bill would create new federal laws and enforcement tools to help protect older Americans from scams and fraud, such as phone schemes, fake investment offers, and identity theft. It would likely increase penalties for criminals who target seniors and give law enforcement agencies more resources to investigate and prosecute these crimes. The legislation aims to reduce the billions of dollars seniors lose to scammers each year.
