SB860 Aging Resilience Fund - Establishment
Summary
Maryland Governor signed SB860 into law (Chapter 16) establishing the Aging Resilience Fund within the Department of Aging. The Fund will support the Department's mission including administrative expenses, personnel, partnership development, and programs for elderly services. Interest earnings on the Fund will be credited back to the Fund. The bill passed the Senate 45-0 and the House 102-35.
What changed
SB860 establishes a new Aging Resilience Fund administered by the Maryland Department of Aging. The Fund is authorized for administrative expenses including personnel costs, partnership development, and departmental programs serving elderly populations. Interest earnings on Fund balances will be retained in the Fund rather than reverting to the general fund.
Affected parties including social services organizations, healthcare providers, and community facilities serving elderly Marylanders should monitor Department of Aging guidance on Fund utilization. Nonprofits and governmental entities working with senior populations may find new funding or partnership opportunities through the Fund.
What to do next
- Review SB860 to understand Aging Resilience Fund eligibility and administrative requirements
- Monitor Department of Aging guidance on Fund usage and partnership development
- Assess organizational impact if eligible for Fund programs or services
