New Jersey Assembly Resolution 49 urges Congress to fully fund programs and activities under the federal Elder Justice Act. The act, enacted in 2010, authorized federal funds to address elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Despite its intent, Congress has not fully funded these programs, with most authorizations expiring in 2014. The resolution highlights the need for immediate funding to support elder justice initiatives.
