House Bill No. 6772 mandates a study to assess the needs of senior citizens 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 focus on various aspects of senior citizens' needs, including long-term care, transportation, housing assistance, nutritional assistance, and socialization opportunities. The findings of this study are required to be reported to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026.

The bill incurs a cost of $12,000 in fiscal year 2026, as the Commission will need to hire a graduate fellow from a Connecticut-based institution to assist with research, data collection, and report drafting. The bill does not delete any existing legal language but introduces new provisions to ensure the study is conducted effectively and reported in a timely manner.
