Bill > S4055

This bill, titled the "National Senior Investor Initiative Act of 2026" or the "Senior Security Act of 2026," establishes a Senior Investor Taskforce within the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to address the unique challenges faced by investors over the age of 65. This taskforce, led by a Director appointed by the SEC Chairman and staffed with individuals from relevant SEC divisions, will identify problems senior investors encounter, such as financial exploitation and cognitive decline, and suggest regulatory changes. The taskforce will coordinate with other agencies and organizations, and every two years, it will report to Congress on trends, regulatory initiatives, best practices, and recommendations for improving protections for senior investors. Additionally, the bill mandates a study by the Comptroller General of the United States to examine the economic costs, frequency, contributing factors, and policy responses related to the financial exploitation of senior citizens, providing crucial data to inform the taskforce's work and future legislative actions.
