Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, senior abuse is a tragic fact in our society, and our government has put forth common-sense proposals in the digital privacy act to combat financial abuse of seniors. The digital privacy act would not broadly expand warrantless disclosure but would narrowly allow banks and other financial institutions to voluntarily disclose financial abuse to the proper authorities. It is a targeted proposal that would help combat the unfortunate situation of financial abuse of the elderly.
