Like many lawmakers, I have been hearing from seniors throughout my district about the challenges facing the senior nutrition programs that so many local residents use. I am glad to be able to report to you that legislation has been filed to help.
House Bill 5911 has been introduced by House Republicans to protect funding for senior nutrition programs like Meals on Wheels. This bill will move $25 million from migrant welcoming centers to support the Home Delivered Meals Program instead, and will ensure our seniors can continue to receive this very important service.
I am proud to be a co-sponsor of this legislation.
