Legal considerations: The Older Americans Act of 1965 established the Administration on Aging and called for the creation of State Units on Aging, including the Kansas Department on Aging and Disability Services. The current federal law may be found at 42 U.S.C. 3001, et. seq. (Public Law 109-365). There are numerous federal and state law requirements imposed upon Area Agencies on Aging, including CPAAA and filing the annual Area Plan. The primary applicable state law is the Kansas Senior Care Act at K.S.A. 75-5926 et seq. This grant application requires approval of the Board of County Commissioners. Approval is by simple majority vote.
