The sponsor's argument
Why Cordell Cleare says this is needed
The New York State Master Plan for Aging recommended 126 proposals to prepare New York State to serve an ever-growing aging population. Proposal 63 of the MPA calls for the establishment of a caregiver coor- dinating commission. Caregivers play a crucial role in the lives of older adults but often face obstacles to providing care. The state should establish a Caregiving Coordinating Commission to uplift the Important voices of caregivers while also prioritizing cross-sector collaboration to create meaningful change via policies, services, and supports that benefit the well-being of older adults and their caregiv- ers.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
