State lawmakers say legislation moving through the General Assembly will strengthen Indiana’s consumer protection efforts of senior citizens. Both legislators and the Attorney General say they’ve found a gap in the law they hope the bill will address.
Last year, the number of consumer complaints of financial exploitation received by Attorney General Greg Zoeller’s office increased by more than 9% among Hoosiers age 55 and older. And with the average age of Hoosiers on the rise, Zoeller says he’s expecting that number to continue to increase.
