Growing Retirement Security Crisis; recognize and urge improvement for all citizens.
This is a symbolic House Resolution (not a law), recognizing the retirement security crisis identified by the National Council on Aging (NCOA) and National Council of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL). It cites data showing 80% of households with adults aged 60+ faced financial insecurity in 2020, linking this to factors like longer lifespans, healthcare costs, and declining pensions. The resolution urges federal and state leaders to promote policies supporting secure retirements - such as lifetime income options in retirement plans - but contains no binding requirements or new programs. It does not directly affect citizens or change existing laws.
