The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 15, seeks to allocate six million dollars from the General Fund to the Department of Aging and Disability Services specifically for elderly nutrition for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027. This funding is intended to enhance the nutritional support available to the elderly population, addressing their dietary needs and promoting better health outcomes.
The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to ensure the appropriation of funds for this purpose. The primary focus of the bill is to increase financial resources dedicated to elderly nutrition, reflecting a commitment to improving the well-being of older adults in the community.
