Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to establish a Permanent Select Committee on Aging.

Key Points

• This resolution would create a permanent group of lawmakers in the House of Representatives focused on the needs of older Americans. The group would look at issues like healthcare, housing, jobs, and how to prevent poverty among seniors.
• The committee would not have the power to write new laws directly. Instead, it would study problems and suggest ways for the government and private companies to work together to improve the lives of seniors.
• Lawmakers want to find better ways to use the skills and knowledge of older people to help the country. They also want to make sure government programs for seniors are working well together.
• This group would review ideas from the White House and other national conferences about aging to see if they should be turned into official government policy.
