				<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>

					The Governor’s Master Plan for Aging established pursuant to Executive Order No. N-14-19 includes a goal of “inclusion and equity, not isolation,” which emphasizes both the need for lifelong opportunities for work, volunteering, engagement, and leadership, and protection against isolation, discrimination, abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

					Policies to ensure
