Financial exploitation of vulnerable adults.

This Wyoming bill (SF 76) requires financial institutions (like banks and broker-dealers) to report suspected financial exploitation of vulnerable adults - defined as adults aged 18+ with impaired capacity - to the Department of Family Services within 5 business days. It mandates internal policies for staff to report exploitation and allows institutions to temporarily block transactions related to suspected cases for up to 30 days if requested by authorities. The bill also permits notifying third parties (e.g., family members) about suspected exploitation, unless the third party is suspected of exploitation themselves. These provisions directly affect vulnerable adults, financial institutions, and the Department of Family Services.
