Overview: HB 3294, Enacting the Bank Protections for Eligible Adults from Financial Exploitation Act, communicated to Senate, introduced on February 25, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to establish new legal protections and reporting requirements for banks and other financial institutions to help prevent the financial exploitation of eligible adults, such as the elderly or those with disabilities.
Key Provisions:
- Requires financial institutions to develop policies and training to identify and report suspected financial exploitation of eligible adults
- Allows financial institutions to delay transactions or disbursements if they reasonably believe financial exploitation is occurring
- Provides immunity from civil and administrative liability for financial institutions that in good faith report suspected exploitation
Affected Parties and Impacts: This legislation would directly impact banks, credit unions, and other covered financial entities by mandating new policies and procedures to protect vulnerable customers. Eligible adults and their families would benefit from the increased safeguards against financial abuse.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been communicated to the Senate after passing the House. If enacted, the new bank protection requirements would take effect 6 months after the bill's passage.
