The resolution aims to recognize and celebrate the contributions of AARP Arkansas, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals aged fifty and over. Founded in 1958, AARP Arkansas focuses on improving the lives of older Arkansans and their families by addressing critical issues such as caregiver support, community livability, financial security, age disparities, and fraud prevention. The organization actively engages volunteers statewide through various programs, including Driver Safety and Tax-Aide, which significantly impact the lives of the state's aging population, which constitutes approximately 36% of Arkansas's total population.

In light of AARP Arkansas's vital role in advocating for the needs of older residents, the resolution calls for the Senate to officially proclaim April as AARP Month at the State Capitol. Additionally, it designates April 8, 2025, as AARP Red Shirt Day, further acknowledging the organization's efforts and encouraging community engagement in support of the aging population.
