## Summary

**Protecting senior investors** is the central goal of this bill, which would create a dedicated Senior Investor Taskforce inside the SEC and require a GAO study on financial exploitation of older Americans. The measure focuses on spotting scams, advising regulatory fixes, and improving coordination across agencies and states. - Seniors and their families: The Taskforce would focus on investors over age 65, identify problems such as financial exploitation and cognitive decline, analyze risky products and practices, and produce reports every two years with trends, best practices, and recommendations for regulatory or legislative changes. - SEC operations and staff: The bill would establish a Director-led unit inside the SEC staffed from Enforcement, the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, and the Office of Investor Education and Advocacy. Members serve without extra pay and the Taskforce has a 10-year sunset. - Policymakers and enforcement partners: Within two years a GAO study would examine the economic costs, how often exploitation occurs, contributing factors (for example race, social isolation, income, net worth, and health), current reporting and response gaps, and legal barriers to better interagency and professional partnerships. *The Commission must use existing funds to carry out the Taskforce.*
