AMAC Action, the advocacy arm of the Association of Mature American Citizens, is proud to report a series of victories across multiple states and at the federal level, reflecting the organization's ongoing commitment to protecting the rights, freedoms, and financial security of America's seniors and citizens of faith. From fighting de-banking and elder abuse to championing election integrity and energy freedom, AMAC Action members made their voices heard.
STATE LEGISLATIVE WINS
✓ South Carolina Guaranteed Banking Act — Protecting Free Speech and Religious Liberty
Date: April 29 & May 5, 2026 | State/Scope: South Carolina | Bill: HB 5538
AMAC Action submitted a formal support letter and mobilized members with a Call to Action in support of the South Carolina Guaranteed Banking Act. This legislation prevents financial institutions from de-banking individuals based on First Amendment activities, including free speech and religious expression. The bill passed its first chamber — a meaningful step toward ensuring that lawful participation in public life cannot be weaponized against American citizens.
✓ Elder Abuse Prevention Training — A Win for Vulnerable Seniors
Date: May 20, 2026 | State/Scope: New York | Bill: S 3180A
AMAC Action submitted a support letter for this bipartisan New York bill directing the development of elder abuse prevention training across healthcare systems. As the bill passed its first chamber, AMAC Action celebrated a win that directly protects the senior community from exploitation and neglect.
✓ Ohio Election Integrity Ballot Measure — Putting the Question to the People
Date: June 8, 2026 | State/Scope: Ohio | Bill: HJR 9 / SJR 10
AMAC Action launched a Call to Action urging members to support placing election integrity concerns before Ohio voters as a constitutional amendment. This effort underscores AMAC's commitment to transparent, secure elections and empowering citizens to shape their own democratic processes.
FEDERAL ADVOCACY WINS
✓ Opposing E-15 Ethanol Expansion — Protecting Consumers at the Pump
Date: May 11, 2026 | State/Scope: Nebraska / Federal (H.R. 1346) | Bill: H.R. 1346
AMAC Action joined a coalition letter opposing H.R. 1346, the E-15 bill that would have expanded ethanol fuel mandates. The legislation died in committee — a win for consumers, small engine owners, and those concerned about government interference in fuel standards. AMAC Action continues to oppose policies that raise costs and restrict consumer choice.
✓ Florida Property Tax Relief — Legislature Delivers Partial Win for Homeowners
Date: June 1, 2026 | State/Scope: Florida / Federal
Following AMAC Action advocacy during Florida’s legislative session, state lawmakers passed a property tax exemption increase — up to $250,000 for 2028 and $150,000 for 2027. While AMAC had urged raising the exemption to the median home value of $400,000, the enacted relief still represents meaningful savings for Florida homeowners and a step in the right direction toward reducing the tax burden on seniors living on fixed incomes.
