METHODOLOGY:

This bill makes funds budgeted for the meals on wheels program nonlapsing until the end of the FY 2020/21 biennium.  In addition, the bill allows the Department of Health and Human Services to transfer funds between the three accounts and class lines that collectively comprise funding for the program.  By allowing the Department to carry forward general funds unspent in FY 2020 (estimated by the Department at up to $600,000), the bill will allow the Department to spend these funds in FY 2021, potentially increasing expenditures in that year.
