The bill proposes an appropriation of $200,000 from the general fund to the Department of Health and Human Services for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027. This funding is designated for grants to organizations that provide care for the elderly, specifically targeting rural areas of North Dakota. The allocation includes $100,000 for existing organizations that already serve elderly individuals in these regions and another $100,000 for new organizations that aim to establish services in rural counties that currently lack such support.

This initiative aims to enhance the availability of care for the elderly in underserved rural communities, ensuring that essential services are accessible to those in need. The bill reflects a commitment to improving the quality of life for elderly residents by supporting organizations dedicated to their care and well-being.
