Bill > HB2764

This bill creates a work group to develop a comprehensive multi-sector plan for aging services in Oregon, which will be administered by the Department of Human Services. The work group will consist of up to 25 members representing a diverse range of stakeholders, including post-secondary education providers, businesses, aging services providers, healthcare professionals, local governments, tribes, and various advocacy groups for older adults. The group's responsibilities include devising goals for the aging plan, developing an implementation timeline, identifying research needs, defining success measures, and analyzing the current landscape of services for older adults. The work group will consult with multiple state agencies during the planning process, such as the Oregon Health Authority, Department of Education, and Department of Veterans' Affairs. The Department of Human Services will provide staff support and is required to submit three reports: an initial progress report by December 1, 2025, a second report during the 2026 legislative session, and a final report by July 1, 2026, outlining a framework for the multi-sector aging plan. The bill includes an emergency clause, making it effective immediately upon passage, to emphasize the urgency of addressing aging services in Oregon.
