What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Elder Pride Protection Act of 2025," aims to create a specific task force to fight the increase in elder abuse against LGBTQI+ people. The Attorney General is tasked with establishing the "Elder LGBTQI+ Defense and Enhance Resources (ELDER) Task Force" within 90 days. This group will be made up of members from the Elder Justice Initiative and the Division of Civil Rights. The task force's responsibilities include studying abuse trends, creating best practices, and developing educational materials. Additionally, they will coordinate responses between different levels of law enforcement. Finally, the task force must report its progress to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees within one year.
