AN ACT CONCERNING A STUDY OF THE NEEDS OF SENIOR CITIZENS.

HB 7190 requires Connecticut's Commissioner of Aging and Disability Services to study senior citizens' needs across five specific areas: long-term care, transportation, housing assistance, nutritional support, and socialization opportunities. The study must be completed by January 1, 2026, and reported to relevant legislative committees. This bill directly affects all senior citizens in Connecticut by identifying gaps in existing services, with no immediate funding or regulatory changes - only a mandated analysis to guide future resource allocation. The study can be conducted using existing agency resources, as noted in the fiscal impact statement.
