Assembly Bill 1059 proposes an increase in funding for home-delivered meals for seniors in Wisconsin. Specifically, the bill seeks to raise the appropriation to the Department of Health Services (DHS) by $250,000 for each of the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27. This additional funding aims to enhance the resources available for programs that provide home-delivered meals to senior citizens, ensuring that they receive adequate nutrition and support.

The bill modifies the current fiscal schedule under section 20.005 (3) by increasing the dollar amount allocated to DHS under section 20.435 (1) (dh) for the specified fiscal years. This legislative action reflects a commitment to improving the well-being of seniors in the state by addressing their nutritional needs through expanded meal delivery services.
