AI Summary
This bill requires municipal agents for aging, who assist older adults with information, benefits, and community resources, to be free of any conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest that could hinder their ability to provide unbiased services. Municipal agents will need to certify in writing that they are unaware of such conflicts upon appointment or reappointment, and if a conflict arises during their term, they or any interested party must immediately report it to the appointing authority, which may consult with the Department of Aging and Disability Services to address it. Additionally, the bill allows two or more municipalities to jointly appoint municipal agents through a formal agreement, streamlining services and potentially sharing costs.
