An Act relative to councils on aging

This bill amends Massachusetts law governing local councils on aging. It updates terminology from "problems of the aging" to "needs of older adults" and changes "such clerks" to "staff" to clarify that councils can hire personnel. The bill also adds a specific provision allowing advisory councils to appoint staff based on municipal needs. These changes directly affect local aging councils by modernizing their language and clarifying their staffing authority under existing law.
