Establishes a senior citizens telephone chat-line.
This bill establishes a state-funded telephone support program for New Jersey seniors. It requires the Division of Aging Services to create a chat-line connecting adults aged 60+ (or their family/guardians) with matched volunteers for weekly phone calls. Seniors register with personal details and interests, while volunteers (18+) provide similar information to enable matching based on shared hobbies and location. The program mandates strict confidentiality for all participant information and takes effect immediately.
