S. 149 would establish an interagency advisory group, led by the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC), to study strategies to prevent financial retailers, financial services companies, and
wire transfer companies from perpetrating fraud on senior citizens. The group would consult
with industry leaders, trade associations, and nonprofit organizations to identify best
practices and create model materials that industry and government agencies could use to
decrease such fraud. The FTC would report to the Congress each year on the group's
activities. The advisory group would disband five years after enactment.

Using information from some of the affected agencies, CBO estimates that convening the
advisory group would cost $1 million over the 2019-2024 period. Such spending would be
subject to the availability of appropriated funds and would cover administrative costs
incurred by member  agencies-including the FTC, the Department of the Treasury, the
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network,  and the Department of Justice-that are funded
through discretionary appropriations.

Enacting the bill would increase direct spending by the Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB)  and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and also would
reduce revenues from the Federal Reserve.
