New Jersey Statutes, Title: 52, STATE GOVERNMENT, DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICERS

    Chapter 27d: Establishment

      Section: 52:27d-28.1: Legislative findings

           The Legislature hereby finds and declares that:

a. The rapid pace of modern life, the ever-upward spiral of inflation, the often-debilitating infirmities of advancing years, and the change in family life combine to place many senior citizens of this State in an unenviable position of poverty and dependency that endangers their health, safety, and welfare.

b. Such senior citizens in particular, and all senior citizens in general, need and deserve the attention, assistance, and protection of the State.

c. To fulfill this responsibility, the government of the State should have an appropriate and significant agency empowered to serve those individuals effectively so that comprehensive programs can be developed and coordinated on a Statewide basis to locate and assist this segment of the population of this State.

L.1975, c. 36, s. 1, eff. March 13, 1975.
