Subcommittee unanimously approves transfer of senior nutrition program to Department of Human Services
Summary
The Health and Social Services Subcommittee on Appropriations voted unanimously to approve HB 538, transferring administration of a federally funded senior nutrition program from the Department of Aging to the Department of Human Services; both agencies supported the bill and there were no amendments.
Delegate Emily Shetty, a member of the Health and Social Services Subcommittee on Appropriations, announced and presided over a subcommittee vote that approved HB 538, a bill to transfer administration of a federally funded senior nutrition program from the Department of Aging to the Department of Human Services.
Shetty said, "This is a bill that transfers the administration of a federally funded senior nutrition program from the Department of Aging to the Department of Human Services. There are no amendments to the bill." She then asked for a motion and called for the vote. After members signaled approval, the subcommittee recorded the measure as passed: "This passes unanimously. Thank you so much, colleagues."
The subcommittee record shows both agencies supported the measure and that no amendments were offered during the vote. The transcript did not specify individual vote counts, the bill's subsequent committee referral, or any implementation timeline for the transfer of administration.
The action affects a federally funded senior nutrition program; the transcript identified the agencies involved but did not provide further operational or funding details. The record did not specify whether the bill changes funding levels, eligibility rules, contracting arrangements, or the effective date of the administrative transfer.
The subcommittee adjourned after the vote.
