AN ACT concerning aging.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Senior Citizens on State Boards and
Commissions Act is amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
(320 ILCS 5/1) (from Ch. 23, par. 6151)
Sec. 1. It is hereby found and and determined by the
General Assembly that state boards and commissions exist for
the singular purpose of protecting the public health and
welfare; that citizens over 60 years of age represent a
significant percentage of the population and have the time and
experience to devote to the important issues which have a
profound effect on the daily lives of older Illinoisans.
It is also hereby found that senior citizens shall hold
their positions on boards and commissions by matter of right,
not discretion. These positions shall be held by consumer
representatives over the age of 60 who shall serve as
spokespersons for the interests of the State's older
population.
