Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Congress should enact the Older Americans Bill of Rights to establish that older Americans should have the right to live with dignity and with independence.
H.Res. 460 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for Congress to enact the Older Americans Bill of Rights.

It highlights challenges like high prescription drug costs, retirement insecurity, and barriers to care, urging Congress to address these through legislative action. The resolution directly affects older Americans (ages 65+) and their families by advocating for policy changes to ensure dignity and independence.
