Annual Report to General Assembly.
The Interagency Committee on Aging Services was formed in 1982 (Chapters 101 and 330, Acts of 1982). For Maryland's elderly, the Committee annually updates a plan to coordinate State and local services covering employment, health, housing, social services, and transportation. By providing technical assistance to local agencies, the Committee coordinates and expedites the delivery of services to the elderly.
The Committee consists of nine members. Seven serve ex officio (from these, the Governor names a chair). Two members are appointed for two-year terms by the Governor. The Committee meets quarterly (Code 1957, Art. 70B, secs. 4A through 4H).
