The proposed bill, Substitute House Bill No. 7190, mandates the Commissioner of Aging and Disability Services to conduct a comprehensive study on the needs of senior citizens in the state, effective July 1, 2025. The study will focus on various aspects of senior citizens' lives, including long-term care, transportation, housing assistance, nutritional assistance, and opportunities for socialization. The findings of this study are to be reported to the relevant joint standing committees of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026.

The bill does not introduce any new fiscal impacts, as the Department of Aging and Disability Services is expected to carry out the study using existing resources. The legislative process for this bill has already seen favorable action from the Human Services Committee, with a vote of 17 in favor and 5 against. The title of the bill has been updated, and it is identified as File No. 474.
