A JOINT RESOLUTION TO DIRECT THE DIVISION ON AGING, OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR, TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON THE WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE ON AGING AND THE GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE ON AGING, BOTH TO BE HELD IN 1995, AND TO PROVIDE THE MEMBERS' RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THESE CONFERENCES FOR THE MEMBERS' USE IN DEVELOPING AGING POLICY AND LEGISLATION.

Whereas, President Clinton and the Administration on Aging have called for a White House Conference on Aging to occur May 2-5, 1995, in Washington, D.C.; and

Whereas, the State of South Carolina and the Governor's Office, Division on Aging are convening the Governor's Conference on Aging on March 2-3, 1995, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; and

Whereas, these conferences are convened only once each decade to develop future direction in aging public policy; and

Whereas, the convening of these conferences is a historical occasion that will play a significant role in the development of aging policy and programs into the 21st Century; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina recognize and vigorously support these upcoming conferences. Now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Governor's Conference on Aging

Where possible, members shall encourage and promote the development of these activities and efforts.

(B) The Division on Aging, Office of the Governor, shall distribute information and recommendations generated from the White House Conference on Aging and from the Governor's Conference on Aging to members of the General Assembly for their use and consideration when developing future aging policy and legislation.
