Senior Programming Protection Act of 2024

The Senior Programming Protection Act of 2024 requires the Mayor of the District of Columbia to submit an evaluation to the Council before the Department of Parks and Recreation closes, discontinues, or relocates any programs or services for senior citizens. This evaluation must include an analysis of transportation options and pedestrian safety for participants, an assessment of potential impacts on federally derived funding, and a plan to increase participation in the affected services. The bill directly affects the Department of Parks and Recreation by adding a mandatory review step to ensure that changes to senior programming are carefully planned and that residents have access to comparable resources.
