Bill > HB06772

This bill mandates a comprehensive study of senior citizens' needs in the state, to be conducted by the executive director of the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity, in collaboration with the Commissioner of Aging and Disability Services. The study will specifically examine five key areas of senior citizen requirements: long-term care, transportation, housing assistance, nutritional assistance, and opportunities for socialization. The primary goal is to ensure that state resources are adequately and appropriately allocated to support the senior population. By January 1, 2026, the executive director is required to submit a detailed report of the study's findings to the legislative committee responsible for aging-related matters, as outlined in section 11-4a of the general statutes. This bill is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and needs faced by seniors in the state, which can inform future policy and resource allocation decisions.
