Summary

This bill will allow prosecutions for financial abuse of senior citizens by amending the Penal Law to add a new crime of financial exploitation of the elderly or disabled. Presently, there are no provisions in the Penal Law that specifically address this growing problem. This has lead to instances where prosecutors have not been able to bring sufficient charges against persons who have exploited vulnerable senior citizens and disabled persons.
