It is the purpose of this act to encourage the establishment of pre-retirement education programs to educate pre-retirees on such significant aspects of life after retirement as financial management, employment prospects, transportation means, community involvement, family relations, use of leisure time and the maintenance of mental and physical health and well-being. It is the intent of the Legislature that the systematic dissemination of information on retirement planning shall help to eliminate unnecessary economic, social, and psychological hardship experienced by many of the senior citizens of this State.
