AB622,1,2 An Act relating to: supplemental funding for elderly nutrition programs and making appropriations.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current federal law, this state receives federal moneys to maintain congregate nutrition projects that provide meals to persons aged 60 and older. Under current state law, the department of health and family services (DHFS) must provide a state supplement of general purpose revenues to the federal congregate nutrition projects to enable expansion of these projects throughout this state. DHFS distributes these moneys to area agencies on aging in the state under formulas that DHFS has developed.

This bill increases an appropriation of general purpose revenues in DHFS by a total of $1,075,000 in each of state fiscal years 1999-2000 and 2000-01 to increase the state supplement to federal moneys received for congregate nutrition projects. Of the amounts proposed to be appropriated, $600,000 is proposed in each of the fiscal years for congregate meals and $475,000 is proposed in each of the fiscal years for home-delivered meals.

For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
