DHS; direct to reinstate program of providing meals to older individuals in community setting.

HB 383 requires Mississippi's Department of Human Services (DHS) to restart a program providing nutritionally balanced meals to older residents in community settings, such as senior centers. It directly affects older Mississippians who previously received meals at congregate sites but lost access when the program ended. The bill mandates DHS to reinstate this specific service without new funding or structural changes, restoring an existing program. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
