Commission approves AI‑scams handout for seniors, plans wider distribution

The Commission on Aging approved a prepared information sheet on AI‑assisted scams intended for seniors after commissioners and staff reviewed the content and outreach plan. Julie Bauer moved to approve the document and the motion passed on a roll‑call vote.

Commissioners discussed distribution logistics, including the need for color copies and the potential to use county copy services for larger print runs. Staff and community partners said they would pair the handout with federal and state brochures (FTC, CMS materials) at outreach events and suggested including the flyer in the Senior Times and at community meal sites.

Why it matters: The handout responds to a rising pattern of scams targeting older adults and represents a low‑cost prevention tool for county outreach and partner distribution.
