(1) identify issues, concerns, and possible solutions for problems facing the aging population in South Carolina;
(2) make recommendations to the Governor and members of the General Assembly;
(3) arrange educational forums to explore issues related to older South Carolinians;
(4) promote good government for all South Carolinians.
The participants must be sixty years of age or older and must be selected pursuant to procedures adopted by the South Carolina Silver Haired Legislature, Inc. in coordination with the state's network of aging programs.

EXPLANATION OF IMPACT:
Enactment of this legislation would have minimal impact on the General Fund of the State. It is anticipated that this model legislature would operate from dues or other revenue generated by this entity. The cost associated with allowing this body to meet in the state capitol would be minimal, and could be absorbed within existing resources.
