Protecting the Elderly in Nursing Homes

SF 2108 (2021–2022 session) Sponsored by Carlin, this bill proposed a nursing-home visitation shelter tax credit, designed to support facilities in creating sheltered spaces for safe visits with residents and allow businesses to offset the costs through tax credits. Additionally, Carlin was active in exposing elder abuse at the Iowa Veterans’ Home and systemic mismanagement in the Veterans Trust Fund https://carlinforussenate.com. While not a formal piece of legislation, these oversight efforts reflect his focus on elder welfare.
