HR 545 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

A Resolution recognizing October 9, 2024, as "Ageism Awareness Day" in Pennsylvania.

This bill designates October 9, 2024, as "Ageism Awareness Day" throughout Pennsylvania to highlight the issue of discrimination against older adults. The resolution aims to raise public consciousness about age-based stereotypes and their negative impacts on health, finances, and the economy. By formally recognizing this date, the legislation encourages communities to promote respect and inclusion for the state's growing elderly population. The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to foster dialogue on preventing ageism in society.
