Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would let courts delay cash payouts on investments when an adult is being financially exploited, giving victims more protection.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch this bill because it could protect vulnerable seniors from scams, but it may also slow down investors’ access to money, so the balance matters now.
