Urges Congress to fully fund programs and activities under federal Elder Justice Act.

This New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 119) urges Congress to fully fund programs under the federal Elder Justice Act, which was enacted in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act. The resolution highlights that the Act authorizes grants for state adult protective services, long-term care ombudsman programs, forensic centers, and oversight of elder abuse in facilities, but Congress has not funded these programs at authorized levels since 2014. It does not create new law but formally requests increased federal funding for these elder protection initiatives. The resolution is a symbolic request directed at Congress, not a binding policy change.
