To reauthorize funding for programs to prevent, investigate, and prosecute elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and for other purposes

**Who it affects:** - Older adults who may be vulnerable to abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation - Law enforcement agencies and prosecutors who handle elder abuse cases - Social service organizations that provide protection and support services - Adult Protective Services programs - Healthcare providers and caregivers who work with elderly populations **What would change:** If passed, the bill would continue federal financial support for existing elder protection programs that might otherwise lose funding when current authorization expires. This would help maintain training for investigators, support for victims, public awareness campaigns, and coordination between agencies that respond to elder abuse cases. **Current status:** The bill is being reviewed in congressional committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives.
