HB 98 -- Transportation Services for the Elderly

Sponsor:  Parson

This bill authorizes each Area Agency on Aging to establish a
volunteer program for the transportation of elderly individuals
to scheduled, health care-related appointments.  Participating
volunteers must use their own vehicles and will be reimbursed by
the agency at the same rate as for state employees for any
mileage allowance or reimbursement due.  Subject to
appropriation, each Area Agency on Aging may request funding of
up to $1,000 annually from the Department of Health and Senior
Services to assist with the administration costs of the program.

The provisions of the bill will expire six years from the
effective date.
