The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 6772 aims to conduct a comprehensive study on the needs of senior citizens in the state to ensure proper resource allocation. The bill mandates the executive director of the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity, in collaboration with the Commissioner of Aging and Disability Services, to assess various aspects of senior citizens' needs, including long-term care, transportation, housing assistance, nutritional support, and socialization opportunities. The findings from this study are required to be reported to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026.

This legislation introduces new legal language that establishes the study as a formal requirement, with the effective date being from the passage of the bill. The bill does not propose any deletions from existing law but instead focuses on adding a new section dedicated to understanding and addressing the needs of the senior population in the state. The overall purpose of the bill is to enhance the support and resources available to seniors, ensuring their well-being and quality of life.
