Summary:
Both H.R. 5293 and S. 3570 make changes to the Title V community serviceemployment program, but take different approaches. The House bill proposals arewider in scope than those in the Senate committee's bill, and many of its proposedchanges emanate from the view that the program should place more emphasis ontraining of participants for unsubsidized employment than what exists under thecurrent program.S. 3570 would authorize new elder justice grant programs and a national studyon the incidence of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It would also require theAdministration on Aging (AoA) to set up a method to collect national uniform dataon elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.This report highlights major selected provisions of the bills and provides asection-by-section comparison of most provisions of H.R. 5293 and S. 3570.
