SB 1740 Missouri Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Creates a mobile device pilot project implemented by the Department of Social Services

SB 1740 establishes a pilot project for the Department of Social Services to test mobile device usage in delivering social services. The program would evaluate how providing mobile devices to eligible individuals improves access to support services like healthcare, housing assistance, or food benefits. The pilot would run for a set period, with the department assessing effectiveness before deciding on broader implementation. This is a testing phase, not a permanent policy change.
