This resolution establishes a new permanent Permanent Select Committee on Aging in the House of Representatives. The committee would study issues affecting older Americans, including income, housing, healthcare, employment, and long-term care, but would not have the power to directly write or pass legislation. The committee's main responsibilities would be to conduct ongoing research on aging-related problems, encourage public and private programs to help seniors participate fully in society, promote coordination between government and private aging-related initiatives, and review recommendations from the President and the White House Conference on Aging. The resolution does not specify any funding or implementation timeline, as it is a procedural change to House rules rather than a spending bill.
