The resolution introduced in the Rhode Island General Assembly proclaims May 2025 as "Older Americans Month" in the state. This observance, which began in 1963 as "Senior Citizens Month," recognizes the significant contributions of older adults to society, particularly highlighting their roles in supporting families, civic organizations, and the economy. The resolution notes the demographic shift in the older population, which has grown from 17 million in 1965 to over 62 million today, and emphasizes the importance of providing older Americans with the necessary resources and support to live independently and make informed choices as they age.

The resolution also underscores the value of intergenerational engagement and respect, advocating for a society that honors the wisdom and experience of older individuals. It calls for public celebrations and activities to acknowledge the contributions of older Americans, particularly senior veterans, and aims to foster a supportive environment for this demographic. The Secretary of State is tasked with transmitting a certified copy of the resolution to the Director of the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging.
