Senior Safe Act provides

The idea being tested is that this act provides protection for people who report suspected senior exploitation. The Senior Safe Act, enacted in 2018, creates safe harbor from civil or criminal liability for individuals who report suspected financial exploitation of seniors in good faith and through the proper channels (often within their financial institution or to regulators). This protection is meant to encourage reporting by reducing fear of liability or retaliation, so early intervention can occur. It is not a grant program, it does not impose penalties for not reporting, and it isn’t a safety standard for financial institutions. The focus is on shielding reporters from liability when they act in good faith to flag potential exploitation.
