Committee on Aging
TL;DR
The Committee on Aging advanced two measures focused on improving access and services for older adults in New York City. The first requires the Department for the Aging to maintain non-digital access to forms and services, ensuring seniors without internet access can still apply for benefits. The second urges the state governor to sign legislation authorizing expanded transportation services for seniors statewide.
