CONCORD, N.H.—New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch has signed a bill aimed at protecting seniors from investment fraud.
The new law prohibits an investor from using false professional designations, which infer they have special qualifications or specialized education in addressing the needs of senior citizens and retirees.
This law will require certification of certain titles for financial professionals in an effort to better protect seniors from fraudulent sales practice.
