Establishing a commission on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, or any other diverse sexual orientation or gender identity older adults within the department for the aging.

A Local Law in relation to establishing a commission on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, or any other diverse sexual orientation or gender identity older adults within the department for the aging, and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof

This bill would require the Department for the Aging (DFTA) to establish a commission for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual (LGBTQIA+), or any other diverse sexual orientation or gender identity, older adults within DFTA. The commission’s goals would be to identify challenges, share best practices, and develop expert recommendations on ways to improve the quality of life of LGBTQIA+ older adults. The commission would be required to submit two reports: the first report no later than one year after the appointment of all commission members, and an additional report no later than two years after submission of the first report.
