AI Summary

This bill establishes the Aging Resilience Fund, a special, nonlapsing fund managed by the Secretary of Aging, to support the Department of Aging's mission, which includes personnel, developing partnerships, and funding various programs and services for seniors. The fund will be comprised of investment earnings, fees collected under the subtitle, and any other accepted contributions, with its interest earnings automatically credited back to the fund. Importantly, this bill also amends the State Finance and Procurement Article to exempt the Aging Resilience Fund from a general provision that directs most interest earned on state money in special funds to the State's General Fund, ensuring that all earnings benefit the Aging Resilience Fund. This Act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
