Best Answer

The age of a senior citizen depends entirely on who is making that decision.

Most governments use age 65 or higher for senior citizen status for pensions or other benefits. The AARP accepts members starting at age 50. Many businesses set their own age for senior citizen discounts, usually age 55 or older.

I seriously doubt that any politician of ANY state, has the guts to attempt to pass a law which set a prescribed age at which one becomes a "senior." In California, at age 70 you are considered a senior regarding renewal of your drivers license, you are qualified for senior housing at age 55, for AARP at age 50 and you can get the senior discount at IHOP when you are 55!
