HB 2500 -- TEXT-TO-DONATE PILOT PROGRAMS

This bill establishes a "Text-to-Donate" pilot program in certain cities, which requires those cities to create a fund to reduce homelessness to which donations can be made via text message to a telephone number provided by the city. The General Assembly will make a one time appropriation to fund advertising and signage about the new fund.

Currently, this program applies to Kansas City and St. Louis.
