AN ACT CONCERNING THE DEPARTMENT OF AGING AND DISABILITY SERVICES' RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING MUNICIPAL AGENTS FOR AGING.

This bill requires Connecticut municipalities to appoint agents who assist older adults with accessing community resources, benefits, and housing opportunities. Agents must be staff from senior centers or community members with aging experience, certify they have no conflicts of interest, and report any conflicts that arise during their term. Municipalities may jointly appoint agents to share costs through a formal agreement. The state Department of Aging and Disability Services must create and maintain a public directory of all appointed agents by January 2025.
