Assessments
The promise was to support legislation protecting seniors by removing liability for financial institutions and professionals who report suspected senior financial fraud. Public Law 115-174, enacted May 24, 2018 during Rounds's Senate term, included Section 303 providing immunity for good-faith disclosures of suspected senior-citizen financial exploitation by trained individuals and covered financial institutions. Rounds voted yea on the Senate passage of S. 2155, the enacted vehicle, so the promised federal legislative outcome was delivered in the same term.
