What it does

This bill would require the Department for the Aging (DFTA) to operate the home-delivered meals program, which is to maintain or improve the nutritional status of older adults who are unable to prepare meals, such that each older adult authorized to receive such meals, is provided with at least 1 home delivered meal a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This delivery frequency would apply to all contracts between DFTA and a home-delivered meal provider that are in effect on or after the effective date.
