AI Summary
This bill establishes a Senior Scams Prevention Advisory Group, composed of various federal agencies and industry representatives, to collect information on existing educational materials and programs aimed at helping retailers, financial services, and wire-transfer companies identify and prevent scams targeting seniors. The Advisory Group is tasked with identifying gaps or deficiencies in these materials and creating model resources to fill them. The Federal Trade Commission is required to make these materials publicly available and encourage their use by government agencies and the private sector to protect older adults from scams.
