S 3459 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Task Force on Aging in State of New Jersey in DOH.

This bill establishes a 17-member Task Force on Aging within New Jersey's Department of Health. The task force includes government officials, advocates, service providers, and direct representatives of older residents (including seniors living in facilities or at home and caregivers). It will study current state resources and policies supporting older New Jerseyans, review long-term care quality, examine caregiver support, and create educational programs on issues like elder abuse and housing. The task force must submit its first report of recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 18 months, followed by biennial updates. The bill directly affects older residents (65+), their families, and organizations serving seniors by creating a formal process to identify improvements in aging services.
