Lets local groups get federal money to fight scams and fraud against people 60 and older.
This bill, called the STOP Scams Against Seniors Act, would let state and local groups use federal grant money to create special teams. These teams would work to stop financial scams and fraud that target people aged 60 and older. It would also require reports on how these teams are doing.
Today, federal grant money from the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program cannot be specifically used to create elder justice task forces. If this bill becomes law, state and local groups would be able to use these federal funds to set up special teams to fight financial scams and fraud targeting people 60 and older. These groups and the Attorney General would also need to report on their efforts.
