The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 58 proposes to designate May as Older Americans Month in Wisconsin, recognizing the significant contributions of older residents to the state. With over 1.45 million individuals aged 60 and older, who make up 25% of Wisconsin's population, the resolution emphasizes the importance of supporting this demographic through various initiatives. It highlights the role of the Older Americans Act, which has been instrumental since 1965 in providing essential services such as Meals on Wheels, in-home care, and transportation, all aimed at helping older adults maintain their health and independence.

The resolution also underscores the Wisconsin State Legislature's commitment to promoting community engagement and wellness for older adults, encouraging active participation in society while ensuring that their needs are met. By designating May as Older Americans Month, the legislature aims to foster awareness and appreciation for the contributions of older citizens, while also advocating for services that support their well-being and independence.
