Expands the list of mandated reporters to include investment advisers, investment adviser representatives, dealers and salespersons, and employees of financial institutions who have direct contact with eligible adults who are clients of the financial institution and have access to the financial information of the institution's clients. Permits a financial institution to place a transactional hold on an eligible adult's account if the institution's employees have a reasonable suspicion that a transaction or disbursement from the eligible adult's account may involve, facilitate, result in, or contribute to financial exploitation of the eligible adult.

Further provides that a financial institution that uses a transactional hold must create internal policies regarding identifying and reporting financial exploitation of eligible adults and transactional holds.
