The Senior Resource Center Transparency Act requires the federal government to create and maintain an online public database listing all national resource centers funded under the Older Americans Act, with detailed information about each center's goals, which seniors they serve by location, how many people they help annually, and how much funding they receive from federal and non-federal sources. The bill also requires the centers to report metrics showing whether they are effectively achieving their stated goals. This legislation affects seniors and their families seeking aging services, as well as the resource centers themselves that will need to provide this information. The Assistant Secretary for Aging must publish this information within 180 days of the bill's enactment and update it every six months going forward. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office has 180 days to evaluate all these centers to identify which programs could be streamlined or made more efficient to better use taxpayer dollars.
