 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,

 6        (20 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 23, par. 6102)
 7        Sec.   2.   Purpose.    The  ability  of  the  constantly
 8    increasing  number  of  aged  in  the   State   to   maintain
 9    self-sufficiency  and personal well-being with the dignity to
10    which their years of labor entitle them and to realize  their
11    maximum  potential as creative and productive individuals are
12    matters of profound import and concern for all of the  people
13    of this State.
14        The  purposes  of this Act are to provide a comprehensive
15    and  coordinated  service  system  for  the   State's   aging
16    population, giving high priority to those persons in greatest
17    need;  to  conduct  studies  and  research into the needs and
18    problems of the aging; and to  insure  participation  by  the
19    aging  in  the  planning  and  operation of all phases of the
20    system.
