protect financial institutions taking action to prevent the financial exploitation of consenting, senior, or vulnerable adults.

This bill protects banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions from lawsuits when they take reasonable steps to prevent financial exploitation of seniors and vulnerable adults. Financial institutions can now respond to concerns about suspicious account activity—including stopping suspicious withdrawals or transfers—without fear of legal liability if they act in good faith to stop fraud, theft, or abuse of power of attorney.
