Legislative Advocacy

Please check back periodically for new Alaska Commission on Aging projects. Thank you!

 

The Legislative Advocacy Committee is a standing committee of the Alaska Commission on Aging.  Members of the Legislative Advocacy Committee follow the actions of the legislature and organize support or opposition for proposed legislation that may impact the lives of seniors. The Legislative Advocacy Committee hosts public, statewide Senior Legislative Teleconferences biweekly during the legislative session.

 
25th Legislature – 2nd Session Dates:  January 15 – April 13, 2008
