FSI Applauds Senior Safe Act Becoming Law

Today, President Donald Trump signed the Senior Safe Act into law as part of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act. The Financial Services Institute (FSI) has strongly advocated for the passage of the Senior Safe Act, working closely with members of Congress for a number of years. Below is a statement from FSI President & CEO Dale Brown:

“We applaud President Trump for signing the Senior Safe Act into law and providing seniors additional protection from financial abuse. Preventing elder financial abuse and increasing protection for seniors has been among FSI’s top priorities for several years. Financial advisors and financial services firms are often the first to detect possible financial abuse, so it is critical that they have proper training to identify potential abuse as well as the ability to report it without fear of violating privacy laws. After years of strongly advocating on this issue and working closely with members of Congress on the Senior Safe Act, we are glad to see this critical legislation signed into law.”
