To reauthorize funding for programs to prevent, investigate, and prosecute elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and for other purposes.

H.R. 8060 would extend and reauthorize federal funding for various programs designed to combat elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. These programs would focus on prevention efforts, investigation of suspected cases, and prosecution of offenders. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the House on March 24, 2026, and referred to committee for consideration.

If enacted, this legislation would help ensure continued federal support for elder protection services across the country. Such programs typically work with state and local law enforcement, social services agencies, and community organizations to identify vulnerable seniors, provide protective services, and hold abusers accountable. The reauthorization would allow these efforts to continue and potentially expand their reach to more seniors in need of protection.
