Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2025

# Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2025 would establish a national telephone hotline service to provide free legal assistance and information to senior citizens (typically age 65+). If passed, this hotline would connect older Americans with legal guidance on issues commonly affecting them, such as fraud prevention, elder abuse, estate planning, healthcare decisions, and consumer protection matters. **Who It Affects:** The primary beneficiaries would be senior citizens across the United States. The bill may also affect legal aid organizations, law firms, and government agencies that would be involved in operating or staffing the hotline and providing the legal services. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (HR 6678) is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

It was introduced by Representative Derek Tran (D-CA-45) in the 119th Congress. The bill remains in the early legislative stage and would need to clear committee review and pass both chambers of Congress before becoming law. *Note: Specific funding amounts, implementation details, and other provisions are not available in the basic bill information provided.*.
