A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA SENIOR GAMES PROGRAM.
Whereas, there are approximately 1,200,000 North Carolinians who are 55 years of age and older; and
Whereas, North Carolina has the eleventh largest population of older adults in the country; and
Whereas, because, with advances in medical science it is possible to add years to our lives and good health to our years, it is of the utmost importance to add quality to the lifestyle of our older adults, to enable them to prolong their happiness, mobility, and independence; and 
Whereas, many of the health problems of older adults are directly attributable to inactive and unhealthy lifestyles; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to North Carolina Senior Games, Inc., the sum of eighty thousand dollars ($80,000) for fiscal year 1989-90, to provide funds for the North Carolina Senior Games Program, which is designed to inspire, motivate, and educate all citizens about their potential for good health and involvement in physical activity throughout their lives, and to improve the quantity and quality of physical activity programs in the State by providing healthy, competitive, olympic type experiences for older adults.
Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective July 1, 1989.
