HB 2036 -- Additional Funding for Certain Elderly Services

Sponsor:  Nance

Currently, if the General Assembly chooses to allocate additional
funding for nutrition, transportation, or home-delivered meal
services for the elderly, the additional funding must be
allocated to the Division of Senior and Disability Services
within the Department of Health and Senior Services to be
distributed through the intrastate funding formula to each area
agency on aging.  This bill repeals the additional funding
distribution requirement and allows the General Assembly to
appropriate additional funding for elderly services directly to
programs that provide services for senior citizens, without being
restricted by the terms of the intrastate funding formula.
