An Act relative to councils on aging

This bill (H 4301) amends language in Massachusetts law regarding local councils on aging. It updates key phrases to modernize the description of their work: replacing "problems of the aging" with "needs of older adults," adding "and delivering services" to clarify their role, and changing "such clerks" to "staff" for clarity. The bill also adds a provision allowing advisory councils to appoint staff based on municipal needs. These changes directly affect local aging councils across Massachusetts by refining how their purpose and operations are defined in law, without creating new programs or funding.
