SF 24 Wyoming House · 2023 Regular Session

Financial exploitation of vulnerable adults.

This bill requires financial institutions (like banks and investment firms) to report suspected financial exploitation of vulnerable adults to Wyoming's Department of Family Services. It mandates that staff at these institutions notify the department if they suspect exploitation - defined as unauthorized use of a vulnerable adult's money or property - and creates internal policies for handling such reports. Financial institutions may also temporarily block transactions involving vulnerable adults' accounts (up to 30 days) if reporting exploitation, and they can notify third parties like family members about suspected exploitation. The law directly affects vulnerable adults, financial institutions, and the Department of Family Services, with no new penalties or funding specified.
