Re: Invitation to Testify – Bill No. 36-0192 
Dear Commissioner Brooks, 
As Chair of the Committee on Culture, Youth, Aging, Sports, and Parks, I respectfully invite you to testify 
during Block II of the Committee hearing scheduled for Friday, March 20, 2026, at the Earle B. Ottley 
Legislative Hall on St. Thomas. 
During Block II, the Committee will debate Bill No. 36-0192, the Senior Financial Protection and Promissory 
Note Abuse Prevention Act of 2025. The legislation establishes criminal penalties and enforcement provisions 
aimed at protecting seniors from financial exploitation and abuse involving promissory notes. 
Given the Virgin Islands Police Department’s responsibility for investigation and enforcement of criminal 
statutes, your testimony regarding investigative procedures, enforcement readiness, and interagency 
coordination will assist the Committee in ensuring the bill is practical and enforceable. 
Please confirm your attendance and submit written testimony at least 48 hours prior to the hearing.  
Thank you for your continued commitment to protecting the residents of the Virgin Islands. 
Respectfully, 
 
 
The Honorable Angel Bolques, Jr.
