WHEREAS, Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 7, S.D. 1, 2009, requested the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Governor to form the Home for Life Task Force (Task Force) to coordinate research and action to reduce barriers to aging in place and to facilitate multigenerational or accessible living, pursuant to the recommendation of the Joint Legislative Committee on Aging in Place; and

WHEREAS, the foregoing Concurrent Resolution also requested the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Governor to each appoint six members of the Task Force comprising individuals from designated entities and agencies involved in providing services in furtherance of aging in place; and

WHEREAS, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives have each appointed six members, however the Governor has not appointed anyone; and

WHEREAS, the Task Force cannot begin or complete its work until the Governor appoints six members as requested; and
