Establishing Permanent House Committee to Study Issues Affecting Older Americans
This resolution amends House Rules to create a Permanent Select Committee on Aging dedicated solely to studying the comprehensive problems faced by older Americans, including income, housing, health, and long-term care. While the committee lacks legislative power, its primary role is to coordinate existing programs and develop policies to improve the quality of life and utilization of skills of seniors. This ensures a continuous, focused congressional body addressing the needs of the elderly population.
