What this bill would do
The Strategic Plan for Aging Act seeks to amend the Older Americans Act of 1965. It directs the Assistant Secretary for Aging to award competitive grants to States, Indian tribes, and tribal organizations. These funds are intended to help these entities create or implement "Multisector Plans for Aging and Aging with a Disability." These multi-year plans aim to address the diverse needs of older individuals and those with disabilities through cross-sector collaboration. The bill establishes specific requirements for plan creation, implementation, and evaluation.
