The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Carver establishes a Senior Task Force on Fraud Prevention in Louisiana to address the increasing incidence of fraud targeting elderly individuals. With over 84,000 Louisianans falling victim to fraud in 2024, resulting in significant financial losses, the resolution highlights the vulnerability of older adults due to factors such as accumulated savings, limited digital literacy, and social isolation. The task force will consist of ten members from various organizations, including the governor's office, the attorney general's office, AARP, and law enforcement agencies, and is tasked with studying the occurrence and impact of fraud against seniors in the state.

The task force is required to submit a report of its findings, conclusions, and recommendations to the Louisiana legislature, the governor, and the attorney general by February 1, 2026. It will review existing practices in Louisiana and other states, assess the economic and human impact of fraud, and convene an organizational meeting by August 1, 2025, to elect a chairman and other officers. The resolution emphasizes the need for a coordinated response to protect vulnerable populations from financial exploitation and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to combat fraud in the state.
