No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend Subchapter D, Chapter 161, Human Resources Code by adding Section 161.082. Subsection (b) would require the Department of Aging and Disability Services, in coordination with Area Agencies on Aging, to establish not more than three (3) demonstration projects in the state to identify and assist socially isolated elderly individuals. It is assumed that the agency could absorb the increased expenditure within existing funding levels.
