Aging
Senate
The New York State Senate Aging Committee addresses issues vital to older adults, such as access to affordable housing, long-term care, healthcare, elder abuse prevention, and support for seniors to live independently. It oversees legislation and policies impacting the state’s aging population and works to strengthen programs that safeguard dignity and quality of life.
The Committee oversees laws such as Elder Law (governing the Office for the Aging and services for seniors), Public Health Law (long-term care and home health), Real Property Tax Law (senior tax exemptions), and Social Services Law (programs like EPIC and EISEP).
The committee is chaired by a senior senator from the majority; the ranking member represents the minority. Membership is about 15, meeting dates are generally scheduled on session weeks—check the Senate website for details.
