An act relating to a single, statewide area agency on aging

This bill creates a single statewide area agency on aging for Vermont, replacing the current system of multiple local agencies. It directly affects older Vermonters (65+), their family caregivers, and kinship caregivers by requiring coordinated services across the state. Key provisions include developing a unified service system, targeting resources to those with greatest need, conducting regional needs assessments, and coordinating with existing providers like senior centers and Meals on Wheels. The agency must also report annually on service enrollment and denials to state committees.
