The Legislative Assembly (AL) yesterday passed a government-initiated bill on the framework for the protection of senior citizens’ rights, which aims to create a more senior citizen-friendly society.
The bill, passed during a plenary session in the legislature’s hemicycle, is slated to come into effect 90 days after its promulgation in the Official Gazette (BO).
The new Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly aims to promote the virtue of respecting the elderly.
