(a) The commission shall design and oversee a resource mapping of all federal and state funding sources and funding streams as well as resources for nonprofit and other nongovernmental entities that support the health, safety, and welfare of older adults in this state who are sixty (60) years of age or older. The resource mapping shall include, but not be limited to:
(1) An inventory of all federal and state funding sources that support these older adults in this state;
(2) An inventory of all state, federal, or government subsidized services and programs offered to these older adults in this state, set out by program, target population, geographical region, agency, or any other grouping that would assist the general assembly in determining whether there are overlapping programs that lead to duplication within the state, gaps in service delivery, and any administrative inefficiencies generally;
(3) A description of the manner in which the funds are being used within the agencies or organizations, the performance measures in place to assess the use of such funding, and the intended outcomes of the programs and services;
(4) Government mandates for the use of the funds, if any; and
(5) An inventory of the funds for which the state may be eligible, but is currently not receiving or using, and the reasons why the funds are not being used.
(b) The commission shall update the report each year and shall subsequently assure that the resource map is periodically and timely updated, so as to maintain a current resource map of the funds used to support these older adults in the state.
(c) The comptroller of the treasury and each department of state government or agency in this state shall provide assistance upon request to the commission in effectuating the purpose of this section.
(d) On or before January 15, 2019, the commission shall provide a preliminary report to the health and welfare committee of the senate and the health committee of the house of representatives. On or before December 15, 2020, and each successive year thereafter, the commission shall provide a full report to the health and welfare committee of the senate and the health committee of the house of representatives. The full report shall include, but not be limited to, the resource map and any recommendations, including proposed legislation, for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of programs offered to older adults who are sixty (60) years of age or older in this state.
