The resolution proposes the creation of a special legislative commission to study and provide recommendations regarding the establishment of an Office of the Elder Advocate in Rhode Island. The commission will evaluate the need, feasibility, and operational requirements for such an office, addressing issues faced by older residents, including age discrimination and financial exploitation.

The commission will consist of thirteen members, including representatives from the Rhode Island House of Representatives, legal experts, and advocates for older adults. Its responsibilities will include assessing the unmet legal needs of older adults, reviewing existing advocacy systems, and recommending the structure and resources necessary for the proposed Office of the Elder Advocate.

The commission is required to report its findings and recommendations to the House of Representatives by March 15, 2027, and will expire on June 15, 2027.
