HCR 53 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

ELDERLY: Creates a Senior Task Force on Fraud Prevention

HCR 53 is a resolution (not a bill) that creates a temporary Senior Task Force on Fraud Prevention to study issues affecting older adults. The resolution directs the task force to examine fraud prevention strategies and report findings to the House and Senate Commerce committees. It does not create new laws or directly affect residents; it establishes a study committee to gather information on elder fraud. (Note: Amendments to the resolution only correct punctuation, not policy.)

MINOR

The bill was technically corrected to use consistent language for appointees (removing 'or his/her designee' in favor of 'or his/her designee' or similar variations). Additionally, the reporting requirements were expanded to include the House and Senate Commerce committees alongside the Governor and Attorney General.

Scope change

The scope of reporting recipients was expanded to include specific legislative committees.

TECHNICAL

Corrected grammatical phrasing in the list of task force appointees to ensure consistent use of 'or' instead of 'or his/her'.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement that the task force report be submitted to the House Committee on Commerce and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and International Affairs.
