Today, U.S. Representatives Brad Schneider (D-IL) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) introduced bipartisan legislation to better protect senior citizens from abuse, fraud, and neglect.
The Senior Citizen Protection Act would create a national registry of elder abusers that accredited health care providers and the public could check before hiring employees who will work with seniors. While some states already have created elder abuse registries, there is currently no nationally-searchable database of the state-level data.
