Summary

The bill lets financial institutions delay, refuse, or modify account actions when they reasonably believe a senior, vulnerable, or consenting adult is being financially exploited. It defines who qualifies as a senior or vulnerable adult, what counts as exploitation, and outlines limited time frames for these protective actions. The measure aims to give banks a legal shield while protecting at‑risk adults from fraud or abuse.
