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, in accordance with section 11-4a of the general statutes.

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 been favorable, with the Human Services Committee voting 17 in favor and 5 against. The title of the bill has been updated, and it is designated as a new section within the law.
